it was almost the same for me. 25 years into my career, and deemed basically unhirable (after years consulting for gov where titles don’t translate back to private sector) after 6 months of job hunting, where even friends who were SVPs couldn’t get me a timely interview, i was left feeling so dehumanized i just gave up and stopped job hunting.

then i got an idea. in 2008 i created a company where i wanted to work after not being able to find an agency in NYC that i felt had good culture.. so i should do it again. this time, however, there would be a mission… i want to unfuck how hiring is done.

if, as job seekers we can share knowledge of how recruiters and hiring companies behave, we can spare each-other grief and unnecessary pain and suffering when we look for work.

recruiter reviews, by candidates for candidates.

it’s very new, has quirks that i’m working out, and is simply a chrome extension that runs on top of LinkedIn. reviews contribute to a calculated score, and the details of any review are never shared with anybody. job seekers come first, recruiters get held accountable for the reputations they deserve.
