Is it there an equivalent to robots.txt for written manuscripts? (lemmy.ml)

I recognize it will likely not be respected, but is there a standard way to communicate a denial of consent using LaTeX? I'm considering using it for a job application package. I realize it's illadvised, and probably won't use it in this case, but there is just something so wrong to me about foregoing your rights to get a job and that's what spurred my interest.

Robots.txt is used to prevent search engines like google from fetching and adding specific pages on your web server to their search index.

What are you asking here? Who do you want to stop from doing what with your manuscript?

Presumably, to stop hiring managers from using a slop generator to filter it out from ever being read
