Hello everybody,

Just wanted to post this as many users might not know about this particular situation.
If you look up a job poster's blueboard rating which you should always do before applying for a job, you might find that there aren't any or that they seem to be O.K.
Sometimes this means that there is a (possibly negative) blueboard rating under a different name.

Hello everybody,

Just wanted to post this as many users might not know about this particular situation.
If you look up a job poster's blueboard rating which you should always do before applying for a job, you might find that there aren't any or that they seem to be O.K.
Sometimes this means that there is a (possibly negative) blueboard rating under a different name.
When proz.com staff finds out that a company has previous blueboard entries under a different name (but with the same contact names and/or addresses), a link to that other blueboard entry appears on the "clean" blueboard page.

Example:
Company B at 435 Silly Street in Whyknowing has no blueboard entries.
Company A at 435 Sill Street in Whyknowing has one blueboard entry with a rating of 1. ▲ Collapse
