Naming and shaming – WorkBoard

If you're currently job hunting, you may come across WorkBoard. They pay pretty well, they're hiring a ton of web developers, and have been making some waves lately, so they may come up. WorkBoard is a dishonest, manipulative firm that is not to be trusted. They do not treat their candidates with respect and they're not worth your time.

If you're currently job hunting, you may come across WorkBoard. They pay pretty well, they're hiring a ton of web developers, and have been making some waves lately, so they may come up.

WorkBoard is a dishonest, manipulative firm that is not to be trusted. They do not treat their candidates with respect and they're not worth your time.

Without going into too much detail, they rescinded an offer almost a week after the offer had been made and accepted. Compensation was negotiated, and I was assured that the job was a done deal on numerous occasions. Only after resigning my current job did they withdraw the offer, citing budgetary reasons, leaving me unemployed.

I was foolish to trust them, which was my mistake. I learned my lesson. But, at the same time, I was directly lied to numerous times throughout the process.

I decided that the least I could do was warn everyone else.

I don't believe that firms that deceive and manipulate candidates should be doing business. So here I am doing my due diligence.

The job postings are still up and they still claim to be hiring. There are a lot of good firms out there that are worth your time. WorkBoard is not one of them. Do not trust them under any circumstances.
