Petition Unfair Recruitment Practices

More details

An introduction to new laws which looks at unfair recruitment practices making looking for work harder. These, for example, could look at:

*Recruitment agencies using unethical tactics, for example, posting jobs to job boards which never seem to be there, have just been filled or are never mentioned again

*Posting on job boards of the same jobs over and over

*Non response to candidates and their applications

*Relevant, constructive feedback not given to each candidate who attends an interview

*Recruiting friends/family without following the same recruitment processes as other candidates

*Commission only roles which could see "self-employed" workers working 60 hour weeks with no pay as they have not made sales

*Equal pay for all employees working the same role within the same company.

The list is endless...
