Best Answer
Federal Law
  • Federal law requires you to keep application records of non-hires for one to two years and hired employees for one year. The time period is affected by your company size and type of organization, including affirmative action.
  • Most HR professionals recommend that you keep non-hire applications for at least three years, and those of of hired employees for three years after termination.

  • Retention of applications helps protect the business and its management. Having records of job applicants, including qualifications and experiences, is useful should your organization face charges of employment discrimination, especially relating to affirmative action.
