And everyone thought registries were only for sex offenders. If it works to punish them then why not on those who don’t want to work?

    Sure. But only if there’s also a registry of all employment denials that includes the reason for denial and whether they bothered to even tell the applicant.

    The registry is to identify people who need extra help with transport or child care so we can target additional resources to help them get hired, right? Right? RIGHT?

    Somewhere between 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 jobs aren’t real.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelwells/2024/08/13/36-of-job-adverts-are-fake-how-to-spot-them-in-2024/

    The disagreeing congressmembers should just tack on that if people are put in lists because they are required to show up to interviews that all interviews must be paid, and any any job found to be fake or misrepresenting a job lead that does not exist should have to pay each person who applied a fine of $100,000 and up to 1 year in prison like the law is for pirating a movie. Watching a digital copy of a movie that doesn’t exist is surely not worse than dangling people’s means of survival on a stick and trying to make money off their misfortunes.

    Thus every job posted will be required to be in one registry and proof that it has been filled. Jobs must be reported on the site for no more than 3 months and to remove it must have a 50% of the posting times notice. Each role must be listed separately if there is more than one position. Any company found to have hired someone without posting to the job registry will be fined no less than 5% of the companies value to their local communities food shelters, and have their business license removed and company dissolved of all assets and given to the local community/shelters if 2 infractions are had within 365 days.

    If people are having to apply for 200 jobs and it is common that all 200 of those applications fall through then we should be enforcing practices on businesses to take hiring more seriously, if they want people to take their posting more seriously.

    StandoutCV stated in their research “Based on these findings, we can deduce that the average person has to make 162 job applications to land a job.”

    Frankly that’s rediculous to assume people should be able to track 162 different job applications and ensure they keep up with every appointment, while remembering 32-54 of those jobs turn out to be fake in the first place.

    This would be to ensure professionalism, as they say is the reason for their bill.

      Maybe also post who the job goes to. Would be very interesting to see some of those jobs going to H1B Visa holders when there are “no qualified Americans to do the job” after interviewing and turning down multiple Americans.

      The fact is, though, that republicans believe companies are people and people… aren’t.

    “The bill rewards professionalism. If you value employers’ time, this process is going to value you,” Lorenz said. “And it just modernizes the employment process and it holds applicants accountable and it helps employers thrive.”

    What a load of horse shit. They’re trying to create a blacklist registry so that less people get benefits.

    Ohio is an at-will employment state. That means your employer can fire you without notice and you can quit without prior notice as well. I have done this due to a furlough and they were not happy, but I didn’t want to go through bad financial times again.

    Things happen and people miss appointments. You’ll forget about appointments and not go simply due to forgetfulness. My wife forgets about appointments from time to time and so do I.

    How about a registry for policemen? Or one for politicians getting “donations” from commercial sponsors? This information needs to be made public.

    Does the bill create a registry of employers who come to interviews they schedule unprepared?

    Does the bill create a registry of employers who have jobs listed that they aren’t actively hiring for wasting applicants time?

    Does the bill create a requirement to post the hiring wage range so as not to waste everyone’s time?

    Unilateralism is fascism.

      How about interviewers who ghost applicants? I have literally been sat in an office for an hour and a half, with nobody telling me what’s going on before I got told “oh that interviewer isn’t in today, I’m not sure why he scheduled you.”

        I had one that “got pulled into a meeting”. Um, she had a meeting, with me!

        I was eventually offered the job two or three weeks later, which I declined. In that time I had accepted a position with a company that had their shit together. This one had the nerve to ask “When were you going to tell us?” after ghosting me for weeks! I said, “I just did.”.

      This would make a great website. Match job listings with this type of data. Get all job applicants on there and then set strict criteria for companies to post jobs on there. Enshitify the entire process for the companies and make them beg to have their ads shown.

        Isn’t this what Glassdoor started as? I remember it was a place to look up companies, find out how they tested employees, get interview tips, get salary ranges, etc. Then it got rid of anonymity and sold out and now it’s just propaganda for the companies that it initially meant to review

          the companies on glassdoor started to sue people and threatened the site, thats why its astroturfs and datamines you now in case they get sued again, they can give you thier info. its also the same time indeed removed thier forums, it was “damaging” thier reputations of preying on desperate applicants.

      or companies that are doing ghost listings, and the ones that are pretending to list but actually had someone else they internally hired/nepotism and only put the list as a way to say we tried.
