The marketer said that he was denied employment before the first interview after providing information about his status in the Reserve+ application.
According to the author, the recruiter asked to provide an extract from «Reserve+» and clarify military status.
» — Can you provide an extract from «Reserve+»? What is the status?
— Yes. Conscripted, requires basic training, reserve soldier, wanted.
After that, the company said: «Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer you a job. For official employment, a valid military registration document (VOD) is required,» a marketing specialist with the nickname sash_milash told Threads.
The author of the post did not understand this explanation: «So there is an extract from „Rezerv+“, but it is „not valid“? How to understand this?»
A lively discussion broke out under the post.
User Yevhen Kletka believes that the problem is not in the document itself. «It is valid, but the employer understands that it is time to put in the work now so that you will be busified in a week — well, that’s it,» he explained.
According to Oleksandr Beshkarev, the reason lies in the employer’s responsibility for maintaining military records. «The employer maintains military records at the enterprise and submits documents to the local RTCC and SP once a month. All your questions about „Reserve+“ can result in large fines for the employer,» the specialist says. He also gave his own example, when the company almost received a fine of UAH 51,000 due to untimely notification of a change of address.
Nick Kovalchuk expressed a similar opinion: «They’ll give your employer a slap on the wrist for your «wanted»."
And a user with the nickname mishka_travel_ summed up the situation this way: «It’s most convenient for an employer to have an employee with a deferral so as not to f*ck their brains out.»
However, not everyone agreed that the problem is precisely the «wanted» status. User qvaldich believes that employers pay attention to a set of factors. «What is needed is a current VLK, military conscript, without BZVP, without a wanted list,» he noted.
Some users stated that the mere fact of asking questions about «Reserve+» is already a reason for them to stop communicating.
What does the law say?
Lawyers interviewed by dev.ua note that employers are indeed obliged to maintain personal military records of employees and interact with territorial recruitment centers. However, having a status in «Reserve+» in itself does not mean an automatic ban on employment.
At the same time, the employer has the right to refuse a candidate if he cannot fulfill the legal requirements for employee registration or if the candidate has not provided the necessary documents. If the only reason for refusal is the status of the person without proper legal justification, such a situation can potentially become the subject of a labor dispute.
The final assessment depends on the specific circumstances: what document the candidate had, what status it reflected, whether the employer required other documents, and what motivated the refusal.
Aitivets was rejected after an offer due to an internal review. The company did not give a reason, so now the candidate is left wondering what went wrong while the Threads community is making their own guesses.
