Worthless? Really? Assume you're interviewing 2 people for a job, and they're both good candidates. However, 1 has a nasty anonymous review about how they suck

Worthless? Really? Assume you're interviewing 2 people for a job, and they're both good candidates. However, 1 has a nasty anonymous review about how they suck at their job, and the other doesn't. Just because it's anonymous, you're going to fully, 100% ignore it? Or, could it possibly bias your decision by just a teensy bit?
- lsc 17y agoand the other guy is completely anon online? I'll take the non-anon guy who has gotten smeared. I'm extremely unlikely to hire a person who I can't find online somewhere, unless I know them personally. I don't trust anonymous, and in this world, without that online identity, that's what you are.
- MicahWedemeyer 17y agoWhere did I say that the 2nd guy is completely anonymous online?
- lsc 17y agoYou didn't. Obviously a better reputation wins over a worse one... but many people seem to think that no online reputation /is/ a better online reputation, and I disagree with that.
