Public recruiter review board idea

After getting ghosted by recruiters time and time again I had an idea: A website that allows users to add a recruiters linkedin handle and a complaint or praise(predefined list, for example: ghosted after interview, slow communicator, great communicator, great prep) When the user posts it, it will be an anonymous open board. Now if someone going through an interview process can look up their recruiters name, and know if they have ghosting tendencies, or if they’re dealing with a great recruiter. If someone else has had the same experience there will be a count to the selected option. For ex, a horrible recruiter may have 55 x ghosted next to their profile Let me know if anyone thinks that there could be benefit to something like this

Why anonymous? Best way to ruin people reputation

Exactly, so many ways to fuck a recruiter up.

Good idea but some questions 1. How will you validate reviews/stop fake reviews? Recruiters can ask their friends to give them good reviews. An enemy of a good recruiter could sabotage them. How can a person who got a job through a recruiter be verified? 2. Do you plan to monetize it? How would you do that?

Yolo On a serious note. Is this not how the premise of rate my professors works? It’s a website where students rate their professor. It was a godsend in college

And how about the legal aspect? Privacy laws?

Just FYI this works both ways. Tons of candidates ghost, cheat on interviews, lie about offers etc. Yall ain't perfect either.

What would you do with this information? Bob at Google ghosts failed applicants. Ok, so do you not apply to Google? Do you apply and only interview if you aren't assigned Bob as your recruiter? If you get Bob, do you reject the interview so there's no chance of getting an offer? What's the point? You know your recruiter has a tendency to ghost, but the optimal behavior is to interview anyway. And suppose you get the job, you'll never interact with your recruiter ever again anyway.
