BITE Bewerbermanager: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

The BITE Bewerbermanager is web-based software for applicant management and e-recruiting. Organisations manage candidates, evaluations and process steps in one system. Each applicant has an individual mailbox, so correspondence stays visible to everyone involved. Flexible role and permission management lets groups such as the works council have read access. The vendor also offers career pages, multiposting to job channels, onboarding, digital signatures and applications via WhatsApp. The product targets companies, public bodies, universities and healthcare organisations and is delivered as software as a service.

BITE GmbH is an owner-managed company based in Ulm, Germany; no foreign parent company is named. According to the vendor, development, server administration and system management all take place in Ulm. The servers are colocated in a data centre in Augsburg, and backups are encrypted and spread across two German states. The vendor states that data stays in Germany. This matters for European employers, because applicant data is personal data.
