So, the urban myth continues. Come on, use your brain and think this through. What manager or Recruiter would have the time to go through a list (of nearly 1700 names per the poster) to check a candidate name against a list of "do not hires" every time that they need to hire a team or hire an individual rep. Even the HR Department doesnt have the time to perform this STUPID task if it were in play. I have personally never been given a list nor have I been subjected to a DONT HIRE THAT SPECIFIC PERSON ever! The only caveat would come if the CLIENT would reject the person because the Candidate previously worked for the Client and were not cleared per the CLIENT... OR if your previous manager has asserted that you were not the best of performers or were a negative asset to the team. Even then, the new hiring manager can make their own decision on the talent they hire (input is just input positive and negative) That said, those issues are in play with any organization. Face it, if you are not getting anywhere in this industry then perhaps you should admit that the competition has left you in the dust. You can believe the myth (the lie of a list of 1698 and apprently stagnant at that number?) if it helps you get through the day but for those who seek a reality world.......focus on your interviewing skills and if you land another position within this industry dont be the negative teammate and do everything you can to be the BEST. Sad to say but for some of you this is a novel concept. I have interviewed enough of you to know the difference.....Hate on.
