The Employers Resource-Do Not Hire List

This list is composed of employees, interviewees, and persons that have exhibited qualities that are extremely bad for any business.  Since the employer cannot charge the employee for the damage done to their business, we have decided to help employers protect themselves prior to hiring one of these poisonous employee prospects.  This is our idea of Economic Stimulus. 

We believe that the economy is in trouble because of a lot of things, but the things that are hurting our economy when it comes to jobs, are the employee side.  Think about it, what business owner, corporation, or other for profit entity will not hire someone that will bring them more profit to their bottom line?  Of course, the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE.  

We are keeping this blog very honest, and simply for the purpose of listing those interviewees and employees that act in a way that is harmful to business, but does not yet break the law.  Which brings me to the reason that we are instituting this blog, recently, we had an interview come in and we chose not to hire her.  As a result of our decision, she has gone on an all out assault on our company.  Trying to prevent us from considering employment prospects from Craigslist.  How?  By flagging our employment ads, and also by writing blatant lies about our company.  We can stop her from writing blatant lies, but the flagging is a whole other issue.  We will keep you posted about the ways to stop that from interfering with your necessary business actions. 

Craigslist has become a necessary resource for placing employment ads.  We believe this because it is free, not because it is free for the employer, but because it is free for the employee prospects.  They do not have to get up, go out, and buy a paper, and then scan through to find the employment ads, they simply type in the craigslist url, and go to the appropriate category.  If you are a micro to small business, and pretty much all service businesses, then you must be placing ads on craigslist, in order to reach the demographic that will fill your open positions. 

Well, how does this blog work?  We want to maintain the integrity of the information posted here, we will be the only posters allowed to list any prospects that:
- Become violent
- Become belligerent
- Tell lies about our company
- Harrass us, our company, employees, or customers
- Steal from our company
- Damage property of our company, customers, or employees - PURPOSELY, or with gross neglect.

This is a beginning list, and I am sure will continue to grow, but for now, we are mainly looking to give these poorly behaved and over pampered and coddled employment prospects a consequence to acting out in a manner that the Police will not protect or assist a micro or small business, so we need to hire attorneys, another cost.  Hopefully, we can lower your risk of interacting with the persons that make our list, and at the same time, show the persons on the list that they must cease this abhorent behavior, and seek whatever kind of help that they need. 

We understand that other businesses may want to post there problem prospects here, we suggest that you do a blog also, and make sure that you circulate it on the jobs forum of craigslist, so that other employers will see that they are not alone.  Let's all take a stand, and reclaim the work ethic that made this country great. 

Good Luck to you all.

  1. Can we get in on this? Share do-not-hire lists and rejected applications? I just got the most insane call from a gentleman responding to an ad, wouldn't identify himself, complained that we looked sketchy and we were one of "those bullshit things you see on the internet," whined about our website (admittedly it needs work, but that's not the way to get hired), and went on about how he was a professional, and looking for a career, not a job. I advised him gently that he didn't sound very professional, I didn't like his approach, and that I wouldn't have any interest in him, he responded with "You should be glad I didn't drive past your office or I'd kick your fat ass, sport. How's that for professional?" He called from 518-793-2991, which reverses to a C Krajci.

  2. Good for you, let's get the word out, about all of these malcontents, and all of their bad behavior. The phone number is duly noted.
