Description

I was approached by an "Executive Recruiter" with the following message: I hope this message finds you well. My name is Darlene Stewart and I am an Executives Search Director in PE Recruiting Inc. a reputable Global Recruitment Firm. I am reaching out to see if you would be interested in exploring new opportunities. One of our clients has retained us to fill various senior level positions in one of their recent acquisitions. I was referred to you by an outside talent sourcing firm and based on your previous experience I think you are a very credible candidate. If you are interested and want to learn more, please reply to this email with a copy of your resume as soon as possible. I will forward it, along with a brief introduction to the client and will contact you back to complete the NDA and get started. Note: We are a retained search firm and get paid by the employer. You will not be asked to share any confidential information or pay any fees. Company Size: $2.5B Once I responded with my Resume, I received a response stating I needed to have my resume in a specific ATS format and they provided a link where there is fee to "format" your resume. It is a shame, the fee is small, and I am sure they are getting thousands of folks to pay this small fee, and there is no job. We need to shut down both these fraudulent sites. Below the second message I received. Hello ****** The role is aligned with your experience. Unfortunately your resume does not parse correctly into the Candidate Management System. In order to move forward, I need your ATS compatible resume ASAP. You may contact https://cmsresexp.com for ATS Compatible Resume. For reasons of confidentiality and non-disclosure, I am not able to share any details of the position or company with you at this time. I will check my schedule and let you know a few time slots for a brief phone call after the initial process.
