Honest reviews. Respectful community.
RateTheRecruiter is designed to help candidates share first-hand recruiting experiences and make more informed decisions.
Share first-hand experiences
Review a recruiting interaction you personally experienced. Describe what happened, when it happened, and what communication you received. Separate observable facts from your opinions, and avoid guessing about a person's motives.
Keep feedback professional
Discuss conduct and communication related to the recruiting process. Do not post threats, slurs, harassment, discriminatory attacks, insults, or content intended to intimidate or target someone.
Protect private and confidential information
Do not publish personal phone numbers, private email addresses, home addresses, identity numbers, private social accounts, confidential candidate information, internal company documents, or sensitive personal data.
Do not fabricate or manipulate reviews
Do not invent experiences, impersonate another person, purchase or coordinate reviews, submit content on someone else's behalf, or attempt to manipulate ratings. You may submit separate reviews for genuinely different recruiting experiences; include the role or approximate date when possible so they can be distinguished.
Use the Ghosting Meter carefully
Answer based on your own communication experience. Choose “Not sure / still waiting” when the process is ongoing or the outcome is unclear. Those responses are excluded from the confirmed ghosting-rate calculation. The displayed rate reflects approved community reports, not an independently verified finding.
Understand moderation and reporting
Reviews are held for moderation before publication. Community members may report content they believe violates these guidelines. A report alerts moderators; it does not by itself establish that a review is false. Moderators may reject or remove content that violates the platform's standards.
Understand what ratings represent
Ratings and written reviews reflect user-submitted accounts. Reviews are user-submitted and are not currently independently verified by RateTheRecruiter. The site may moderate content for guideline compliance, but moderation does not verify that a recruiting experience occurred. Ratings are not findings about a person's character or overall job performance.
These community guidelines are operational standards for the site and are not legal advice. They should be reviewed by qualified counsel before RateTheRecruiter is made publicly available. RateTheRecruiter may update these standards as the platform evolves.
