Make it law to give bespoke acknowledgment & feedback to every job application

Petition Details

When applying for jobs, directly or via an agency, there's often no acknowledgment of application. If turned down, there's often no feedback. It's therefore not transparent & gives no chance to improve. We'd like a law to make employers acknowledge receipt & give short, bespoke feedback when asked.

Additional Information

Anecdotally, only 1 in 5 employers & agencies give acknowledgment of receipt. Of this, almost all give basic, generic reasons why you weren't interviewed.
From interviews, only 1 in 2 potential employers give bespoke feedback. This means for every job applied for, you'll only get a clear reason you weren't considered for the role in around 1 in 40 occasions.
How are you supposed to improve? We'd like a law to make employers give bespoke feedback of at least 100 words given when asked.
