The Risk

Most HR Teams
are Not Audit Ready

Applicant records often move through disconnected systems, manual steps, and inconsistent handling. With Ontario ESA hiring requirements now in force, those gaps can create missing proof around job postings, application forms, interview follow-up, retention timelines, and destruction records.

Common gaps

  • Inconsistent retention practices
  • Manual tracking of storage timelines
  • Missed notification workflows
  • Unverified destruction records
  • Limited audit trails

Why it matters

When records are hard to find or impossible to prove, the risk becomes operational, legal, and reputational. HireRecords replaces scattered handling with one defensible process.
