Girl Applies For Internship, But The Company Shares A Photo They Found Of Her In A Bikini, Saying She Won’t Get It
Here’s a tutorial on how to screw up your growing company. First, declare you’re recruiting. Then, after receiving a CV, find the applicant on social media. Proceed to scroll through their uploads and when you find something personal, use it as a reason to reject them. Now, the most important part: repost their content, publicly shaming them for whatever they choose to do in their free time and congratulations, now your organization can ride the moral high horse straight into oblivion.
If theory isn’t enough for you, here’s a case study where Kickass Masterminds nails every single step of the guide.
Here’s a screenshot of the company’s Instagram story, publicly shaming its applicant
The woman in the picture was shocked a company could do such a thing

Immediately, people rallied to her defense

Michaela Okland, the face behind the tweet that made this story viral, said she learned about the whole ordeal after the applicant, Emily Clow, submitted it to her. “I thought it was lame as fu*k,” Okland told Bored Panda. Her Twitter account @SheRatesDogs has over 358K followers and provides a loud voice to people who otherwise could be left unheard.
“Most people are super pissed off and supportive of Emily,” Okland said. “It was a shitty circumstance but the situation has gotten Emily some cool new job opportunities! I think the most bizarre part to this was that the company never addressed it or apologized, they’ve done literally everything except that. I don’t think that’s usual.”

Things kept getting worse and worse

And eventually the company made all of its social media accounts private

However, this didn’t stop people from bashing them

When your name includes "a*s", "s**t" is in your mission statement and you are wearing a Guns N' Roses tank in your BUSINESS profile pic, you're living in a glass house...
Look, I'm edgy! A*s, s**t, damn. See how edgy I am?
Load More Replies...My guess is, the potential employer was jealous.
Load More Replies...The old "she was asking for it in that outfit" concept lives on. The company was wrong, but the comments about being careful what you post are more worrisome. Victim blaming, still? I am 58, I see a picture of a woman enjoying herself. Nothing illegal or unethical. Ladies, think about what you wrote. You are part of the problem.
Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking, much more troubling that ppl are recommending self policing images that show women in 100% normal situations in appropriate attire. Oh hang on, is that the cry of "...but what was she wearing" being resurrected??? SMH
Load More Replies...It was not right what the company did in posting her insta and shaming her. However, people do need to realize that in today's job market companies do research applicants and even employees on social media. The internet is forever. Even colleges are looking at applicants social media accounts now.
So the problem is the picture. She is in an appropriate, morally acceptable swimsuit, having good clean fun. Wholesome even! Nobody wants to hire people like that. Or is the problem her looks? In the old days, we called that discrimination.
Load More Replies...Rule #1 of Instagram: Don't trust what you see there. He is actually a dude at a bar using the "woman red bikini filter in a swimming pool"
How can anyone think it's professional to steal someone's picture to call them unprofessional?
I hate how companies now are like that, they search on the social media. is that why I don't get internships?? just cause I'm not Facebook or Instagram obsessed and prefer to use my data and phone space to things I like?
This is actually lawsuit worthy. Yes, companies do this all the time. As a hiring manager I would scroll through social media, but you never say it and really the only things that gave me pause would be hateful statements or illegal activity.
A voice of reason. Thank you. Be careful what you post -- meaning inappropriate content.
Load More Replies...Looks like their whole business has vanished from the internet. *edit* I realise my original comment looked very neutral. I am extremely happy this is the case.
