THE ONLY ONCE CONCEPT
From now on, candidates will retain control of their own data and can choose to grant recruitment agencies access to it on their own terms.
“We just reversed the chain of information”
How the idea was born
The Only Once idea originated in 2008 during an interim management assignment of the CEO of Only Once. A non-profit client of the CEO asked him to clean a relational database containing 500,000 members, which led to the invention of the Only Once principle. The main objective of Only Once is to demonstrate the Only Once Principle in the Netherlands, focussing specifically on data from businesses. By doing so, Only Once aims to facilitate better exchange of business-related data or documents between data owners and data consumers. The key principle of the Only Once concept is that data owners maintain control of their own data and provide data requestors with controlled access to it, as determined by the data owners.
Target- & Launching markets
Only Once provides its solution to key players in its MVP market segment: candidates who own candidate information and recruiters and flexible agencies who need this data to match them successfully. The ultimate goal is to reduce administrative burden for both parties.
The next target market segment for Only Once will be all accounting firms, which need up-to-date data of all their clients in order to deliver commercial organizational products and services correctly.
The Only Once principle
The Only Once principle is a data management concept that aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of data exchange by ensuring that data is collected and shared only once, and that the same data is reused across different systems and organizations.
Our Only Once principle is based on the idea that data should be collected at the source, and that data owners should maintain control over their data and provide others with controlled access to it. By collecting data only once, it reduces the administrative burden for agencies and ensures that the data is accurate, consistent and complete. This allows for faster matching and improved GDPR compliancy.
This principle is a key component of digital transformation and recruitment agencies modernization initiatives.
The Only Once Manifesto
Only Once helps data owners and data consumers to optimize their business exchange processes to unlock a competitive advantage of all members within our Ecosystem.
Our vision is to create a trusted online environment where everyone on our planet can securily and privacy-controlled share business data. And keep all business applications, worldwide, up-to-date.

To make this possible we have developed a sovereign place where all members can store, share and control their data.
