Enforcing transparency in recruitment reduces inequalities. Applicants often receive no feedback or generic rejections without explanation. Why not disclose who was considered and the criteria used for comparison? Ignoring applicants this way is disrespectful and secretive.

If I am not a bad mentor, then the system that rejects the supervisor while interviewing the student has a fundamental problem. People keep saying, since you're "overqualified," they can't pay you adequately. But I accepted the conditions listed in the job ads. They should not decide on my behalf.

I'm proud when my students shine. But this rejection rationale is an insult to a hierarchy. I mentored him to become a successful researcher. If he's a "better candidate" than me, there is something fundamentally wrong with my competence as a mentor and the system that assigned me to mentor him.

Here is a clear example of the problem: My PhD student and I applied for the same position. The salary was clearly listed. By applying, I accepted that salary. The result: My student was invited for an interview. I received a TEMPLATE rejection saying they "found a better candidate."

Is the problem my documents? I am an established researcher. I know how to write scientifically, and my CV is fully aligned with academic standards. I tried asking for feedback on X and LinkedIn, but people just say "you are overqualified" or "fix the design." This doesn't explain what is happening.

HRs now say: "If you don't hear from us in a month, assume rejection." What does this truly mean? It feels disrespectful. The minimum action required is to respect the applicant's time and send a simple TEMPLATE email, although the template is a problem.
