Rejection is where goodwill is usually destroyed.

The Blue Tick Doctrine redesigns rejection as closure + option.

Sample Message:

“Your interest in working with us is sincerely appreciated. While your profile is strong, it does not match the immediate requirements of the current role.”

Then comes the most important part:

“We believe you may be suitable for future opportunities. If you consent, we will retain your profile in our active-active repository for 6–12 months. Alternatively, we will permanently delete your data within 30 days.”

This does something radical:

•    Returns data control to candidates
•    Converts rejection into trust
•    Signals ethical maturity
