I'm not familiar with some kabal that keep a blacklist. However, potential employers will check references and will call previous employers. If you've burned bridges, that could be coming back to haunt you. I believe one question that can be asked is, "would you rehire this person?" If the answer is "no," then you could have a big barrier.
Smaller startups/companies are less likely to check with your previous employers. Maybe try more of them.
When you say you can't find a new role, are you not getting any interviews or are you not landing the jobs post interview? It could be that you need to work on your interview skills. Or it could be that you need to retool your skill sets. There is not enough info to say much on that.
Again, I've never experienced black listing on the interview side. But, depending on the community, people do talk. If someone knows people at a previous employer of yours, they might ask them about you.
Also, it matters how you present being fired to the potential new employer. It is viewed as more risk to take on someone who got fired vs someone who left on their own terms.
Best of luck.
- samuraiseoul 8y agoI'm not a hiring manager by any means, but if OP wants to check if this is the case, couldn't he have a friend call up his employers/references to see if one of them is saying bad things? I think it may be a smart way to go.
