## The panel's verdict

CVWarehouse NV is a recruiting vendor whose public record, captured 13 October 2026, is a single page: a scheduled-maintenance notice confirming an ATS exists, with separate logins for Recruiter, Candidate and HR Partner, and a contact email. Candidate pipeline draws the most credit — five of six judges score 1 for the confirmed existence and role separation, the HR IT integrator scores 0 — and job distribution sits at 0 except for the data protection officer's 1 for the candidate login, the one trace of a candidate-facing side. Applicant data governance, AI screening control and integrations and handover sit at 0 at both minimum and maximum: judges found no public information on retention and deletion, on whether any AI ranks or parses applicants, or on any API or handover to an HR or payroll system. Sovereignty is where the judges diverge most, from 0 to 2: three credit the Belgian legal form in the vendor's name as a European signal, two hold that no sovereignty attributes are on record, and one places silence above the bottom. We found no public prices.

**Speaks for it:**
- An ATS is confirmed to exist, with separate logins for Recruiter, Candidate and HR Partner
- A candidate login on the captured page gives one trace of a candidate-facing side
- Three judges credit the Belgian legal form in the vendor's name as their European signal on sovereignty
- A published contact email, info@cvwarehouse.com, gives a direct route for documentation requests

**Held against it:**
- We found no public information on pipeline stages per job, scorecards, hiring-manager access or any record of who decided what
- We found no public information on retention deadlines, deletion, talent-pool consent, data-subject requests or access logging
- We found no public information on whether any AI ranks, matches or parses applicants, and equally no statement that none is used
- We found no public information on an API, SSO, calendar, e-signature or handover to any HR or payroll system
- No sovereignty attributes are on record: hosting, contracting entity and subprocessors are all unstated

**Best for:**
- You are running a first-pass scan and want a named vendor with a published contact email to request documentation directly
- Your shortlist gate at this stage is a confirmed ATS with separate recruiter, candidate and HR-partner logins
- You give weight to the Belgian-form signal in the vendor's name that carried three sovereignty scores to 2

**Avoid if:**
- You must show a works council or data protection officer documented applicant-data governance before signing
- You need to know before purchase whether AI ranks or parses applicants, and whether it can be switched off
- You need hires to move into your HR or payroll system without retyping
- You need to see how vacancies reach candidates — career page, job boards, application form — before committing

### The judges

- **The Talent Acquisition Lead** (v1.0): Fills sixty roles a year across three locations with a team of two. Wants pipelines hiring managers actually use, scorecards that make a decision defensible, and multiposting that reaches the German boards without a separate login. Unmoved by a match score she cannot explain to a candidate.
- **The Employer Branding Manager** (v1.0): Owns the career page and the job-ad budget. Wants a career site that works on a phone, applications without an account, and cost per applicant per channel rather than a logo wall of job boards. Reads a pricing page for what a posting on StepStone actually adds to the bill.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Answers for thousands of CVs from people who never chose the vendor. Wants deletion that runs on the stated date after rejection, talent-pool consent that expires, a subprocessor list that names the CV parser and the AI provider, and an access log over every applicant file.
- **The Works Council Advocate** (v1.0): Sits on the Betriebsrat, which co-determines selection guidelines and questionnaires. Asks what any ranking evaluates, whether it can be switched off, who sees which applicant, and whether an internal candidate's file leaks into their personnel record. No answer, no agreement.
- **The HR IT Integrator** (v1.0): Has to connect the ATS to the HR system, the calendar and identity. Wants a documented API, SSO that is not an enterprise upsell, and a hire that arrives in Personio or SAP with its documents rather than as a PDF someone retypes. Judges integrations by who maintains them.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has read "DSGVO-konform" and "AI-powered matching" on every page in this category. Reads instead for the deletion deadline that is actually configured, the AI feature that can actually be turned off, and what the invoice does when a job goes out to three paid boards.
