Is there a crowdsourced list of startups that use shady recruiting practices somewhere? Not too long ago I was approached by a recruiter for a Unicorn company that repeatedly refused to move forward in the process before I disclosed my &quot;accepted salary range&quot; (asking for their budget, as people have suggested, gave me no response either). This was before I had even met a single person employed at the company. Normally I would have gone around the person in question, but this experience left a really bad impression of the company to me.
