Hi John! We'd like to speak with you about the position you applied for on our job board. Call 6502001093 Text STOP to cancel
I calledand was on hold for awhile. A man finally answered and he identified that he was with "career hound" and they wanted to certify information I had sent to the site and he would then complete my registration and ask some prescreening questions. I said that to my knowledge I had never sent any info to his site. I asked to be taken off their call list and he said he would but he hung up as I was pointing out that he needed my phone number. Curious I called back, again I was on hold listening to the "all our people are busy" stuff then the same guy answered. I hung up and called back and the same thing happened. What are the odds of that?
While on hold they give you their office hours but in Central Time which is a red flag since they're in California. This may be legit, some guy starting out but it also may be a scam. I didn't tell him anything.
I got the exact same text message, but I'm not calling back at all. First of all I don't know this number and secondly, when a company want to arrange a phone interview, they would have mentioned their company name, available position and the senders name in their text message. Besides that, what kind of company sent out text message to their applicants like this? For me huge red flag of scam.
I received the same text at 6:15am. I did not call seeing that like previously mentioned, nothing about the company/job position/specific job board was mentioned. Also the "recruiter" sent a text? At 6:15am? Red flag, anyone? I agree I think it's a scam!
I just received a text saying "We would like to talk to you about the job you applied for on their job board" Yes I did apply to a job but it was to a company! If they wanted to talk to me they woudnt of sent a text, they would send an email and would have the companies info and probably logo! Also I'm in NY and 650 area code is in CA. I knew it was a scam so I googled to see first before I called!
