Employers hold the whip > hand during the job matching process. This doesn't help anyone in Japan, but in Sweden, employers are required to provide a candidate with a reason for rejection *and* detailed feedback. The burden of proof is on the employer to demonstrate that they did not discriminate against a candidate in any legally protected group. Candidates can go further and exercise their rights under the GDPR to *all* documentation related to their application process, including not only feedback entered into any HR system used for recruiting, but also raw notes written by interviewers. This actually applies to anyone applying to a European company. Cheers, Josh
