They're going to have a reputation, all right, but not as someone you'd want to hire. More as "probable bandits and compulsive killers."

In GURPS (rather than the DFRPG, which doesn't have the Reputation mechanic), it boils down to "Did anybody bother to pay points for Reputation?" My experience is that delvers generally prefer to use those points for more attributes, combat skills, spells, and power-ups.
