JunkedOut collects real-world hiring journeys—timelines, steps, and outcomes—to expose systemic unfairness without exposing personal data.
The point is not “naming and shaming.” The point is detecting patterns that remain invisible in individual cases.
How fast rejections happen after applying (minutes vs days).
Where candidates drop: screening, tests, final rounds.
Whether “equal opportunity” wording matches observed outcomes.
Selected official EU materials that shape our design and policy alignment.
The EU identifies age discrimination as a persistent structural barrier in access to employment, career progression, and labour-market re-entry. Despite formal equal-opportunity commitments, older workers continue to face exclusion, highlighting the need for transparency and evidence-based enforcement.
The EU Gender Equality Strategy frames discrimination in employment as a systemic issue requiring accountability and measurable outcomes. It emphasizes intersectional risks where gender bias overlaps with age, caregiving responsibilities, or other factors during recruitment and advancement.
The Better Regulation framework requires EU policies to be informed by reliable data, stakeholder feedback, and real-world evidence. It promotes continuous evaluation to assess whether policies achieve their intended impact beyond formal compliance.
EU anti-discrimination policy establishes obligations to prevent unequal treatment in employment while recognizing enforcement gaps between declared commitments and real practices. It encourages innovative mechanisms to improve detection and accountability.
Principle 3 of the European Pillar of Social Rights guarantees equal opportunities in access to employment and protection against discrimination. It serves as a strategic compass for EU labour and social policy initiatives.

Hiring is full of strong claims—fairness, equal opportunity, transparent processes—yet candidates often observe the opposite. JunkedOut is designed to convert scattered experiences into structured, comparable evidence while minimizing personal data.
The MVP focuses on collecting structured submissions safely. We will add read-only public views after we confirm privacy rules.
