Mmm, Not Sure
I Understand Recruitment make the Final Decision But
I have to say I would be amazed if recruitment staff had time to be reading through forum posts on the job, or "would they do it in their own time?" after 20 or 30 interviews, & what if they have 3 Vrdays in a row, you could be talking 60 or more people trying to work out which person they interviewed, then assuming who may or may not have posted, it would be extremely time consuming and certainly not cost effective, having staff making assumptions and not to progress a good candidate on the assumption they think it is that person. "BIG CALL"
I have no doubt, they probably do have a look at the forums from time to time, but to make a conscious decision to try and catch someone out.
I dunno?
Unless someone here, knows who some forumites are, and some of the recruiters, and forwards information on,
Who knows?
