A new website that allows employees to rank their workplace was launched this week.
Work Rewired is designed to give a heads up for prospective employees interested at working in certain companies, using feedback and written reviews
Anonymous entries are permitted, which may allow for the website to be abused.
The founder, Greig Harper, said it's just a website "that allows job seekers to get views from people already at the company", opening up a new era of transparency.
"It's only fair that if you can read reviews of where to spend your five weeks holiday, you should be able to read reviews of where to work the other 47 weeks of the year," he said.
In May the National Staff Dismissal Register went live, allowing employers to record allegations of fraud, theft and misconduct by workers, and share with other members of the database for up to five years.
Says the website,
"With the shift in demographics caused by the baby-boomer exit seeing 70 million people reach retirement age in the US alone it'll be interesting to see organisations approach the millennial generation who are more used to podcasts and Facebook than memos and networking seminars. "
Ratings include pay, benefits, job security, training/development, corporate social responsibility and even the friendliness of the team.
