CampusShame

CampusShame is a repository that aims to crowdsource and document the reputational history of companies based on their treatment of candidates during campus recruitment processes, with a focus on Chinese tech industry hiring practices. It compiles lists of companies that have had so-called “shameful” behaviors, such as rescinding offers, canceling intention letters, or terminating three-party agreements after acceptance, alongside a parallel list of companies without reported negative incidents. The project draws on publicly available anecdotes, snapshots, and forum posts from platforms such as NowCoder, Maimai, and Zhihu to provide evidence and context for each entry, preserving details that might otherwise be lost as threads get deleted or censored. It also includes commentary on recruitment pitfalls and encourages contributors to share their own experiences or corrections to keep the list up to date.
