There’s a lot of confidence there for lack of hiring blacklists when Google, Apple, etc are known to have shared hiring data with each other to underpay new hires.
- taywrobel 6y agoI've been involved with hiring in several companies accused of having "blacklists" or other shady hiring practices. The closest I have ever seen is recruiters or engineers recognizing problematic people from previous jobs and flagging that with the hiring manager. But there's no magic list they consult. Having such a thing even exist would be ripe for a heavy discrimination lawsuit if it ever saw the light of day. Maybe I'm wrong and I'll be unemployed forever now that I had the apparent audacity to say this, but... yeah, I doubt it.
- kbenson 6y agoMaybe not quite what's being intended by this discussion, but definitely related to hiring blacklists in general (if for a different reason), were Google, Apple and Adobe agreeing not to hire some of each other's employees.[1] 1: https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-google-others-settle-anti-poaching-lawsuit-for-415-million/ https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-google-others-settle-anti-po...
