EAST COAST RADIO Practices Unlawful Recruitment
Using Pay Secrecy Kills Recruitment Fairness Rev Frank Chikane
Reverend Frank Chikane chairs Kagiso Media who conduct unlawful recruitment in South Africa. Does he know he is spreading inequality? Does he care? I know for a fact Kagiso Trust doesn’t. I personally experienced their exploitative recruitment process.
Kagiso Media job adverts do not disclose pay. These adverts have been proven to discourage quality candidates, particularly women. But clearly Kagiso Media and East Coast Radio don’t care about that. Job adverts without a salary range discourage rational thinking applicants from applying as they are unfair. Applying to East Coast Radio is particularly hazardous for women and black people as their process suggests totally unfair wage negotiations.
Rev. Frank Chikane and Kagiso Trust Cannot be Trusted: Inequality Chiefs
East Coast Radio makes job seekers unfairly state their pay expectations without knowing what they are prepared to offer. This means if you state an amount lower than the range they have identified, you’ll be paid at the lower end.
If you state a high amount, they’ll likely want a payslip to verify what competitors pay, not because they’re actually interested in you.
It could be that pay is informed by race and gender at East Coast Radio, they refuse to respond to our questions so we can’t say for sure. What do you think? Add your voice.
Unfair Information Advantages Used By Kagiso Media: Rev. Frank Chikane
Withholding information about pay is an abuse of power.
Income inequality patterns are dominated by racist and sexist outcomes suggesting firms use payslips to spy on rival firm reward systems, to price-fix pay and poach employees.
When job applicants apply for jobs without knowing how much they will be paid, they become vulnerable to race and gender-based wage discrimination.
Think it’s fair power Reverend Frank Chikane? Kagiso Media
When an employer finds someone with the required skills who is willing to work for a lower amount, research shows they’ll exploit the opportunity.
East Coast radio employers are abusing their position of power in the labour market as they know there are those who are willing to submit to this unfair process for the sake of a job with them.
