A company in Texas posted an image of a job applicant wearing a swimsuit as an example of how not to apply for a job.
Marketing company Kickass Masterminds posted an Instagram slide - since removed - of applicant Emily Clow, along with advice on professionalism.
"Do not share your social media with a potential employer if this is the kind of content on it," it said.
The company has since made its own accounts private after receiving "death threats and harassing messages".
Ms Clow applied for a marketing role with the firm as "it was a company founded by women, seemed to support women in business and worked with start-ups".
But she was shocked by the public shaming.
The company's post went on: "I am looking for a professional marketer - not a bikini model.
