I propose to the Government.
My experience is almost 10 years old, and there is no indication that things are any different, any more transparent today. Back then, as a young and inexperienced graduate, I was looking for a job at almost every school within a 50km radius, and I gained a lot of experience, practice and knowledge in employment law.
My story/opinion is as follows.
Public tenders - need for a worker.
The legislation at the time allowed an employer, if he already had a suitable candidate, to post the need on the job centre with the indication "without the intervention of the job centre" and the job centre, where the employer is legally obliged to post the need for the worker, did not post it on its bulletin boards or on its website. While the law is satisfied, this significantly reduces the pool of potential good candidates or the possibility of selecting the best one. Of course, if the employer has a candidate who meets the conditions for the job and is satisfied with him from past experience, then this method of recruitment is correct, it reduces bureaucracy, but if this mechanism is abused for the purpose of covering up the job vacancies so that fewer job-seekers see it, or so that only the right person applies, or a person who does not even meet the conditions for the vacancy (he does not have the qualifications), then this method is controversial, and should be severely sanctioned; it is not a good idea to use it for the purpose of the recruitment procedure.
The latter is the case when e.g. directors, headmasters "hide" vacancies or employ students, friends /.../ for a fixed period of time on the pretext that this person/employee was the only one who applied for the vacancy, or that he/she, as the legal representative, had to provide the "worker". An example of bad practice/evasion of labour law?
I suggest to the government that if it is more than obvious that a public institution or an economic entity majority owned by the state has employed a certain worker in the described controversial way, that the worker's employment relationship is terminated according to the law, the director/manager is sanctioned, the tender is repeated with a PUBLIC announcement "with the mediation" of the employment service.
This was the case about 10 years ago and there is no indication that it is any different today. Public institutions, if they can ensure that the need for a job is made public, can simply publish the call on their bulletin board, website, local newspaper /.../ and the law is satisfied, which means that this practice can again be considered misleading, as calls published in this way are often ignored by the majority of potential candidates/employees. Who reads, watches and listens to "everything"?
We are living in a time of constant change, economic, economic crisis and it would be right to ensure the principle of equality for all now more than ever. I therefore propose that public institutions, majority state-owned companies, are required by law to advertise the need for an employee at the employment service, and that the employment service publicises these vacancies on its website under two headings: 1. 'the employer wants the best candidate for the job advertised' and 2. 'the employer is fulfilling the legal obligation to make the vacancy public'. Or similar ...
Option 2 is already 'available' in practice at the job centres, but the road to it is very thorny and painful ...
So I propose the principle of transparency with a one-stop-shop (e.g. a web portal).
The private/real sector can be left out of the proposal.
