Not OP, but I'll take a guess that it makes the OP look like a troublemaker. Someone who has the nerve/gall/gumption to be so open as to name/shame other companies may not pull any punches when it comes to naming 'company X' in the future after something bad goes down.
Posting "here's a list of companies that haven't got back to me" (which is possibly implicit in an open spreadsheet sort of post) is likely perceived as a troublemaker.
- sbuccini 4y agoThe connotations I had in mind (although I obviously cannot be sure what the recruiter thought): - what mgkimsal said - "This employee is applying to really big companies. I'm not sure they know what they are really looking for. This is a mission-driven company, and we want people who want to be here" - "This person has applied to 30+ places and hasn't landed a job yet? Must not be that great after all" - "Someone who posts this information publicly has low EQ, I wouldn't want to work with them"
- TeMPOraL 4y agoI'd also add: - "Oh someone here is treating our company as if it was a commodity. I don't like them." - "This person is trying to game interviewing, probably best to steer clear."
- mixmastamyk 4y agoHow could interviewing be anything but a game? I understand some wouldn't want it spoken of however.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoPart of it is, indeed, talking about unspoken rules. But part of it is that the hiring managers and CEOs are humans like everyone else - some may have ego issues, or buy a little too much into their company's branding.
- throwaway2037 4y agoExactly this. The first rule of fight club is don't talk about fight club. What surprises me more: Many people don't think interviewing is a game. They think it is straightforward and "rules-based". I guess those same people also believe PR. :)
