Review Guidelines

These guidelines exist so candidate reviews stay credible, factual, and free of harassment. We do not remove reviews just because they’re negative, embarrassing to a company, or disputed — we remove content that violates these rules.

Describe what happened

Write about your own firsthand hiring experience: what you were told, what actually happened, how communication went, timing, and the outcome. Reviews should be based on events you personally experienced, not rumors or secondhand stories about other candidates.

Keep it factual, not personal

Describe events and statements rather than assign character or intent.

Allowed

“I was told I would receive an update by Friday, but I received no further response after two follow-ups.”

Not allowed

“The recruiter is a liar.”

No personal attacks or private information

Not allowed, anywhere on the platform:

  • insults, name-calling, or degrading language directed at a person;
  • threats, harassment, or calls to contact someone repeatedly;
  • a person’s home address, personal phone number, personal email address, family information, or private social-media profile;
  • speculation about the identity of an anonymous reviewer or commenter.

A professional name, company, and role are allowed when directly relevant to the hiring interaction you’re describing (for example, “Jane Smith — Senior Recruiter”) — that’s a different thing from publishing someone’s private contact details.

Naming professional contacts

You may name a recruiter, hiring manager, or interviewer who directly participated in your process. Named contacts are not individually rated, scored, or ranked — this platform doesn’t build recruiter leaderboards or a searchable directory of people. If a contact is misidentified, report it and we’ll correct or remove the association.

What isn’t allowed

  • fabricated, incentivized, or coordinated reviews;
  • duplicate reviews intended to amplify one experience;
  • spam, promotional content, or content unrelated to a hiring experience;
  • reviews for a company or process you didn’t actually apply to;
  • attempts to manipulate scores through coordinated posting (“brigading”).

Company responses

A company may publish one public response per review to clarify, provide context, or explain a policy. A response can never edit or delete the review itself, and it can never reveal or speculate about who wrote it. Companies cannot pay to have a review removed, and disagreeing with a review is not by itself grounds for removing it.

Company disputes

Separately from a public response, a verified company representative can privately dispute a review — for example, claiming it’s fabricated, describes the wrong company, or names the wrong person. A dispute is a private moderation workflow, not a public rebuttal, and filing one does not mean the review is false or that it will be removed. If we need more information from you as the reviewer, we’ll ask.

Reporting and moderation

If you see content that violates these guidelines, use the Report button on the review or comment. Reports require a reason, and your identity as a reporter is never made public. When we take action, we use the least restrictive option that resolves the issue — asking for an edit or redacting a specific detail rather than removing an entire otherwise-valid review wherever possible.
