Isn't that what a lot of people already do?
I’m not familiar, how do prospective employees talk to previous employees?
Glassdoor or reviews on Google
ah, thats true - I was seeing it literally, my b
It could be literal too. Depends on the industry and how long you've been in it. If "networking" is something in your field then there is a good chance you will know people who are at or used to be at a particular employer. Heck, high school kids know people at other jobs and will share what it's like to work there.
Good point!
Most of my jobs have been by referral. So I knew someone in the job before I even applied.
During one in-person interview, I walked through the office with my prospective hire, talked to a number of the current staff, and saw the (miserable) conditions of the office. This was - ostensibly - while they were interviewing me.
I was reluctant to take the job, and spoke to the hiring manager, who offered me an additional $10k on top of the first offer. Then I used their salary negotiation to leverage a wage bump at my own office, because I was able to see what I was worth on the open market.
I actually met with my predecessor to discuss technical handover of some systems (he volunteered to help)
was this after you got the job though?
yes. different context I guess. I have reached out on LinkedIn to people at orgs I've applied to and gotten responses though also

Whats this? Never heard of this
Same as glasdoor. Try to look it up.
Oh yeah, fs Ill check it out, just never had heard of it prior and was curious about your experience, etc.
Oh I gotcha! It helped me out figuring out my current job. Current or past Employees write a review about the company and most people are brutaly honest. Sometimes you need to take the reviews with a grain of salt because people write it in an emotional state but yeah it helped me to get a good view.
Yes. It's pretty trivial via linkedin and glass door. Perfectly acceptable behavior.
