Problem · Trust-Damaging Handling

Trust-Damaging Retention — The agent solved the immediate task by retaining or sharing sensitive customer context beyond the service need.

Recommended fix

Require an explicit retention policy for recruiting context before writing to long-term or shared stores. Add customer-facing disclosure/control for retained candidate context and block eval-dataset writes when retention is not justified.

The interaction may appear complete, but the customer loses control over sensitive information.

  • Memory write to 'long-term-candidate-memory' keeps candidate contact and salary-expectation context with retention_risk: high.
  • Memory write to 'eval-dataset-candidate-screening' keeps candidate screening context with retention_risk: critical; eval artifacts are long-term and shared.
  • The final customer-facing response does not disclose or justify the long-term/shared retention path.
  • This creates a trust-damaging gap: the workflow optimizes internal reuse while giving the candidate no clear control over sensitive recruiting context.

Recommended fix

Require an explicit retention policy for recruiting context before writing to long-term or shared stores. Add customer-facing disclosure/control for retained candidate context and block eval-dataset writes when retention is not justified.
