An enterprise put job candidates to work in sales for two weeks under the pretense of a skills assessment then eliminated them all but later hired them when it became a public issue. Job candidates are also frequently offended by personally insulting questions, sexual harassment, etc., in the interview process and it is often the case that once successful candidates have been finalized, the unsuccessful candidates are not even properly notified of the results.

There is a need to eradicate unreasonable practices such as taking advantage of job seekers and forcing them to engage in sales activities or making operating profits by swindling. It is also necessary to protect human rights in the job search process.

Accordingly, the Amendment stipulates that no enterprise shall request any job seeker to perform work during the hiring process, all job seekers shall be individually notified of whether or not they have been hired, and interview processes shall be sound- or video-recorded to protect job seekers from sexual harassment, personally insulting questions, etc., thereby aiming to increase protection of the rights of job seekers (Article 4, paragraph 5 newly inserted; Articles 10 and 13-2 newly inserted; Article 17).

Require the job offerer to make a video or sound recording of the entire interview, place obligations to store such data, and impose administrative fines for violating such obligations (Articles 13-2 and 17).
