Put In Place A Way Of Reporting Job Applicants Who Don't Turn Up To Interviews.
Rejected

What the petition asks
Recently I have had numerous jobs available on Indeed.com where applicants can view and apply for a position they are interested in. On 2 positions I had over 300 applicants, all were invited to an open day and only 20 showed up.
There should be a system in place to report these persons. A number of business owners have expressed the same problems. I hear but don't know how true it is as I haven't ever claimed, that job seekers and claimants must apply for jobs to receive their monies, however there is nothing stopping them from just applying but not turning up to interviews.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be the responsibility of the recruitment agency.
