Meta reportedly maintains an internal list of former employees deemed ineligible for rehire, even if highly rated by their managers. A laid-off engineer found this out after submitting around 20 job applications; despite initial interest from hiring managers, communication stopped at the recruiter stage. This has raised concerns about transparency, as Meta employs various tracking mechanisms to enforce these restrictions. Though not illegal, rehire lists are considered uncommon, especially when they affect high-performing employees without clear justification.
Meta's internal 'do not rehire' list prevents former employees deemed ineligible from returning, causing confusion and concern over hiring practices.
Despite a strong performance history, a former Meta engineer discovered they were marked as unhirable after applying for multiple positions without clear communication.
Five former employees indicated that Meta systematically keeps lists of those barred from rehire, including measures like 'non-regrettable attrition' designations.
Employment experts note that such rehire lists, while not illegal, are rare and can unjustly impact high-performing employees without adequate reasoning.
