01
The Right to Transparency
Every candidate has the right to know what they are applying for.
On EquaWork, this means:
- Every job must include a clear salary range
- The role, responsibilities, and location must be accurately described
- The interview process must be outlined in advance
02
The Right to Human Review
Applications deserve human attention.
On EquaWork:
- Applications are reviewed by people, not AI filters
- No automated rejection based on keywords, age, background, or assumptions
- Employers commit to personally reviewing submitted applications
03
The Right to Be Judged on Skills, Not Identity
Candidates should be evaluated on their work, not on who they are.
That's why:
- Applications are reviewed without names, age, gender, or personal identifiers
- Employers see experience, skills, and motivation first
- Personal details are only revealed once an interview is requested
04
The Right to a Response
Silence is not an acceptable outcome.
Employers commit to:
- Reviewing applications within a defined timeframe
- Responding with either an interview invitation or a rejection
- Avoiding indefinite “pending” states
05
The Right to a Reasonable Hiring Process
Hiring should not feel like endurance testing.
On EquaWork:
- Employers must clearly state the number of interview stages
- Excessive or undefined interview processes are discouraged
- Hiring timelines must be realistic and respectful
06
The Right to Accountability
Respect is measurable.
EquaWork tracks:
- Whether employers review applications
- How actively roles are managed
- Whether candidates receive timely responses
07
The Right to Speak Up
Candidates have the right to report problems.
You can report:
- Ghosting after application or interview
- Misleading job descriptions
- Unprofessional or abusive behavior
