    Worked with a recruiter to set up an interview with a potential employer. Got an offer from said employer, and when I informed the recruiter that I was planning to negotiate for a higher salary, at first, the recruiter and his supervisor both did not have an issue with it. When I was ready to negotiate, I informed the recruiter first instead of going directly to the employer. At this point the recruiter accused me of using manipulative tactics to increase my salary at my current company, because when I told them about the offer I received they in turn countered with a higher salary. Knowing my current employer has a bad track record for making these types of commitments but not sticking to them, I fully intended on accepting the new job offer. After accusing me of manipulation, the recruiter said he would reach out to his client and tell them I'm not interested anymore. I immediately responded via email saying that I was definitely still interested in the position and that I was simply trying to negotiate a higher starting salary, something that is very common while job hunting. I then called the recruiter 3 times with no answer. I emailed the company who offered me the position and asked them if they would consider a higher salary and that I was still very much interested in the position. Then I get an email from the recruiter saying that he honestly didn't even want to negotiate on my behalf. I then received an email from the company who offered me the position saying that they are no longer interested in hiring me. I can only assume that this is because the recruiter spoke ill of me, otherwise the company would have no reason to rescind their offer. This whole interaction with him was wildly unprofessional and ended up costing me the job. This individual should be reprimanded by his superiors. When I called their main number, there was no option to speak to a manager or supervisor, only to another recruiter. With no other recourse, I submit this complaint here.

    I spoke directly with the ** and was assured that the recruiter I was working with has been reprimanded for his behavior. I am satisfied with the resolution of this matter and as such this complaint can now be closed.

    I was contacted by an employee of this company looking to see if I was interested in finding a job through them. They called and texted in the same minute in order to get my attention, despite the fact that I answered the phone. This is not within the standards of common courtesy, and bordering on harassment.

    If you'd like to discuss this further, please feel free to contact us directly at ******************************** We appreciate your understanding."

    I responded to indeed listing for W3Global. They did not put in the ad that they were a recruiter or I would not have responded. They have harassed me repeatedly by phone (they use forged numbers) and hacked my email. I will be reporting to the authorities if they do not stop. I have blocked them but they continued under forged numbers or hacking my email.

    Greetings!!
    As a staffing firm, we always put our best efforts into finding the best opportunities for the candidates and assisting employers in finding the right talent for the desired roles. To reach the Candidate whose profile matches the job responsibilities, we also call, email, and SMS. In this case, we had her resume in our database, which was pulled through Monster, and we tried connecting with the Candidate through all three modes on the same day for one of our client's job requirements. However, we had no luck connecting with her and never tried reaching her after that. The Candidate never informed ** about not contacting her till now. Else we would have marked her as DNC(Do Not Contact) on our database.
    Also, as mentioned in the complaint, we don't follow any malpractices, such as hacking. All the supporting proofs on the reach, such as call recordings or screenshots of the email or SMS sent, can be provided on request as needed. We regret the inconvenience caused and ensure we refrain from reaching her in the future.

    The harrassing calls ended only yesterday. I think blocking their forged phone numbers would have given them the hint but it didn't. Still called and texted.

    Just called Monster. They do not have a resume on file for me and can't find me in their system so the company is lying.

    I have received multiple calls and texts from this business. They have stalked my LinkedIn, my personal phone, and my personal email. I have repeatedly asked them to stop. I have email correspondence to prove my request for them to stop contacting me. I have asked nicely each time. At this point it is harassment. I am trying this through the BBB one time. And if I have continued contact I will contact a lawyer to stop this harassment once and for all. This business needs to be held accountable for their repeated disregard for a person's right to say no.

    Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/08/09) */ **** ***** Contact details marked as DND on our list. He will not receive any calls or messages from W3Global going forward. Consumer Response /* (2000, 7, 2022/08/10) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.) I will accept this response for now. However I received that same exact response from an employee already. I was put on the DNC and DND list. Maybe this time it will actually happen. I truly hope I am not contacted by this company again.
