Like seriously, time is money right? I'm sure most people can relate to wasting time on numerous applications before ever landing a job. If they set that into law, employers will probably be much less likely to reject applicants, and even when they do, you still get paid for your wasted time.

Edit: I'm not particularly referring to the application part alone, I'm referring to application + interview = rejection. People should get paid for someone calling you in, only to end up wasting your time. Hell, I could have spent that time better at the sperm bank.

This doesn't encourage application processes to be simplified. If anything it will dramatically increase the difficulty in applying for jobs and provide more economic incentives for nepotism.

There are laws against nepotism, at least in the USA.

Granted those laws apparently apply only at the federal level (plus I'm no expert in the subject), nepotism should outright be illegal across the board.

Everyone should have a fair and equal chance to gain employment, without all the bullshit many suffer while seeking an honest job.
