Answer:

Depends on what you collect as part of the employment process. Usually for employment purposes, if special category data is collected from the employee, this is because it is a legal requirement usually under either Labor Law or laws related to health and safety in the workplace.

So, I genuinely think that you should rely on legal obligation and not consent for any processing of special category data.
