There seems to be a pretty simple solution to this - you blacklist the obviously unacceptable.
Not the ones you 'don't like' - the ones that don't even make sense.
That process of filtering out folks using the blacklist should be automated and the blacklist should be public.
I wonder if that'd make recruiting jobs almost pointless in a large number of cases however. It sure would make one think twice about spam-applying, knowing you might get blacklisted for spam.
- pjc50 9y agoThis is not only a PR disaster waiting to happen but probably illegal in most jurisdictions.
- alexashka 9y agoNeither of which are arguments against doing it. With your logic, ending slavery in a time when it was legal, would be a PR disaster, and illegal in most jurisdictions. Oh wait... It may even lead to a civil war. Oh wait... That has happened... Oh wait... It was actually a good thing! That's how progress gets made - by changing existing norms and laws because they suck. Recruiting AND job searching at this moment clearly sucks. Which's not to say blacklisting is THE solution. It's A solution, which's a lot better than nothing, at least it gets the conversation going.
