Although the job description stated that the salary is "8000 yuan per month for a chain supermarket purchaser," the job seeker found out at the interview location that the company was actually hiring a delivery person. Not only that, the promised monthly salary of 8000 yuan has also been reduced to 6000 yuan. The job seeker reported the recruiter to the platform. Soon, the position was taken offline and the recruiter involved was also punished.
Nowadays, it's not so easy for recruiters who randomly label job types and write job titles to deceive people.
Entering the "Golden September and Silver October" recruitment season, BOSS Direct Recruitment launched a one month special action on "false job information governance". The first special governance action has cumulatively dealt with over 2800 illegal accounts related to false job information. On October 14th, the platform announced that it will continue to carry out the second phase of the special campaign to combat false job positions.
On the basis of ensuring the personal and property safety of job seekers, we need to further safeguard their legitimate rights and interests such as the right to know, and reduce disputes and conflicts caused by poor job information between job seekers and recruiters, "said the relevant person in charge of BOSS direct recruitment." In the special governance, the platform focuses on standardizing the job information release behavior of recruiters to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the positions
The first phase of special governance mainly targets the blue collar industry, focusing on rectifying two types of false job information: "false job types" and "false job names". Through governance, the false job information of general workers and new forms of employment (such as food delivery and ride hailing) on the platform has significantly improved.
Make 'good people' live better, 'remove makeup' fake blue collar positions
With the popularization of mobile Internet, blue collar job seekers who used to work mainly through offline intermediaries and acquaintances are becoming more and more accustomed to online job hunting, especially the post-90s and post-00s generation of blue collar workers. In this context, blue collar recruiters are gradually shifting their recruitment focus to online platforms.
At the same time as shifting the recruitment platform to online, long-standing problems such as inflated salaries and exaggerated job benefits have also emerged online. Firstly, taking the job title as an example, in order to attract attention, some blue collar recruiters intentionally use exaggerated or misleading vocabulary in the title, such as "free time, driving a sports car in a year" and "joining the job is like winning a million yuan".
Secondly, in the selection of job types, some recruiters maliciously choose the wrong job category in order to gain more views. Moreover, from the job type to the job description, it is all A position, and it is not until offline communication, interviews, and even signing contracts with job seekers that they are actually working for position B.
These types of false positions are usually not intended for fraud and do not pose a threat to the personal and property safety of job seekers. However, they infringe on the right to know of job seekers and seriously affect the job seeking experience of blue collar workers.
More importantly, such false positions can also harm the interests of 'good people'. Because the positions look more attractive, these fake positions often attract more blue collar job seekers who are not familiar with the situation to click on, while the positions that are truly filled in truthfully go unnoticed. The significance of removing makeup from fake blue collar positions lies in building a healthy ecosystem of "honest people living better" on the recruitment side.
Clarify the "false" standard and implement gradient governance to address illegal recruitment practices
From offline to online, the phenomenon of false job information has long existed in the field of blue collar recruitment, benefiting a very small number of unscrupulous recruiters, but paying the price is the normal recruiters and job seekers in the entire industry.
The core difficulty of governance lies in the low cost of deception and the lack of consensus in the industry on 'false' standards, "said the relevant person in charge of BOSS Direct Recruitment." Job seekers are attracted to interview locations by false positions. If there is no personal or economic loss, law enforcement agencies find it difficult to follow up and often have to accept their own misfortune. When the platform receives relevant reports, the recruiting party will also argue that the job information is true, but the job seeker is evaluated at the interview site as more suitable for other positions
Therefore, in this round of governance, BOSS Direct Recruitment focused on elaborating and standardizing the platform's definitions and situations of "false job types" and "false job names", reducing the space for unscrupulous recruiters to argue. In the new issue, BOSS Direct Recruitment has further clarified the definition of "illegal recruitment and false recruitment positions".
The entire process of this special governance is open, fair, and transparent. While governing, we hope that more recruiters can understand the rules. In previous governance, we found that some recruiters did not understand the rules and only cried out after being punished. Publicity is to let everyone know what is wrong and how it will be handled, "said the person in charge.
At the same time, during the governance period, the platform will identify users' violations based on review results, administrative department notifications, complaints and reports from other users of the platform, and other evidence materials. Based on dimensions such as the number of violations and the severity of violations, the platform will take gradient governance measures on relevant violation information and accounts.
The gradient governance measures are subdivided into five levels, ranging from first-time violations to five or more violations, with different levels corresponding to different governance measures. The disposal measures include limiting exposure and restricting the use of certain functions. For those who have repeatedly violated regulations or caused adverse effects, the platform has dealt with the violating accounts severely or even more severely in accordance with platform rules.
