Petition Job advertisements and timely feedback for applicants
More details
To support an open and fair recruitment process anyone advertising a job should be required by law to include the following information as a minimum in their advertisements:
(1) The name of the employer.
(2) The specific job location e.g. town or city.
(3) The rate of pay in the local currency e.g. £/hour, £ annual salary. Salary bands etc. can be used but values must be shown.
To remove any uncertainty and keep job applicants informed all recruiters should be mandated by law to:
(1) Inform applicants when they are no longer being considered for the job for whatever reason within 5 working days.
(2) Provide all applicants that are still being considered for the job with an update every 30 days until such time as an appointment is made or the job withdrawn, at which point a final update is to be sent out.
