Can I sue a recruiter for a gdpr breach if they have unilaterally decided to send my cv to 10 firms without my written (or indeed verbal) agreement? If so what would the process be?

Did they share things like your address, phone number, email address etc … if so that’s a breach of GDPR unless you consented

A1 because perhaps another recruiter has a better relationship with the hiring manager, perhaps this recruiter just spammed a load of jobs without tailoring the CV to each one… a whole host of things.

The point is, if OP didn’t ask to be put forward they never should have been.

First ask them to show where you consented. If there was a fine print you missed, you’re SOL.

But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible.

You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
