The Old School method was to ask around, find actual company insiders or former employees.
These days it's relatively easy to find these individuals via a quick sort on Linkedin. Simply, reach out and talk to these people direct.
- s73ver_ 9y agoHow reliable is that? I mean, how honestly would you answer such a thing?
- JSeymourATL 9y agoCan you gauge sincerity in a live 1:1 conversation? If someone pinged you with a transparent motive-- We share a mutual connection in 'Mike D', I'm interested in learning more about your experience in (company/ex-employer) because they a have a job opening I want to explore. Would you be open to a brief 10 minute call/Skype? Wouldn't you tell that person the straight deal?
- kvonhorn 9y agoI'd be concerned that anyone asking me for a 10 minute call or Skype was trying to scam me or say something they would try to use against me. If I got this kind of email and was inclined to reply, I'd advise them to check Glassdoor.
