I'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.
