> I propose increased transparency between candidates, so they can quickly figure out which companies are serious and which not.

I was considering a similar proposal, for holding recruiters, and the companies they represent, accountable for e.g. ghosting.

But I foresee a dilemma with this:

(1) To prevent abuse / lies / slander, we want to somehow tie reviews to the identities (or credentials) of the person reporting it.

(2) But given the legal risk that poses in many countries, few sane job seekers would provide such reviews. I.e., they'd be privatizing risk but for a common good.

Give it some more thought! There's a graph based solution that works equally well even if all participants (people providing feedback) are throwaway accounts with just one comment.
