[QUOTE="gban007, post: 9449332, member: 56488"] Is interesting looking at discussion, and thinking about what I'd do if recruiting. In lieu of much other information, if I was aware of this (we don't tend to look at social media ourselves when recruiting) I would likely determine based on knowledge of the company being 'bad mouthed' as such - if it is one known to not be a great employer then that will shape it, vs being a great employer. Would also consider what my company is like against what the person has complained about. If my company was also owned by big shareholders using it to get as much profit as possible, then likely would think him not a good fit, whereas if charitable or some other structure in place, may think it a better fit. In my industry there are a number of companies, all with different cultures. While I like it at the one I work at, I know there are some who have bounced right off it and would prefer one of the other companies. Some have burned their bridges for working here with how they left, and wouldn't be hired again here, but I don't see that that would stop them being able to get a job somewhere else in the industry, or that because they left another company unhappily and were open about it would prevent us hiring them. Of course if they did something pretty bad, rather than bad mouthing, that would be a different question, but often other processes would have come into play by then. [/QUOTE]
