Rejected petition Create fairer conditions for job applicants actively sourcing employment.

Create more rules and legislations protecting job applicants and our time. We demand post application outcomes within a fixed amount of time with a clearly listed outcome - i.e. acceptance/rejection.

Protect applicants from being needlessly left in the dark post application.

More details

Applying to job vacancies requires applicants to mentally and physically invest themselves in the application process.

Many employers/recruiters do not choose to recognise the countless hours spent pouring through applications, ghosting applicants post application, some even post-interview. Applicants’ could be left in the dark for months without a clear application outcome.

In an increasingly competitive job market, it’s not unreasonable to demand fairer job application conditions.
