I got the "interview" call last night and it went something like this:
Him: "I see you got a call from Lindsey either today or Friday."
Me: "Yes, but she wasn't able to tell me which company you work for."
Him: "(laughter) Yes, well, we pay a company not to tell anyone anything."
Me: "So who do you work for?"
Him: "Well... Have you ever heard of a company called National Agents Alliance?"
Me: "Yes, I have, and I don't want to be a part of it."
Him: "Have a good night." Hangs up.
I will call this a scam, because of the following. "Lindsey Wagner" called me and said very quickly she was calling from Andy Bright's office regarding my recent application for a position (didn't name the position RedFlag1) and wanted to set up an interview. I had recently applied to several positions and didn't want to appear dumb for not knowing who they were, so I continued with the call. One question she asked was do I have any certifications and had I managed people. Well, after hanging up, my research began, going through all my records of who I had applied for and nothing for them. RedFlag2 was the area code...I live in GA and this is NC. I then searched the number and company and saw all this scam info. Basically, this is an agency looking for "agents" and I just found the integrity extremely poor for them to call you as if you had actually applied for a job, when in actuality, she/they probably located my information on Monster or Careerbuilder where I loaded it only 2 days ago. One more thing, I also found "Lindsey" script online with the exact questions she asked me. I kindly called the number back and cancelled the follow up interview that was supposed to be with Brittany. Lindsey had to go through her list of others she had called and finally found my name and cancelled. I work for an insurance company on the corporate side and I understand recruitment, but I didn't apply for this job and to call me as if I did, LOW INTEGRITY.
As soon as I hung up, I did some research. I can say, that they were quick to schedule me for a phone interview and not so open about who they were. Let's just say, I won't be answering the phone tomorrow for a "scheduled" phone interview. Interesting as I just put my resume on Monster yesterday
I just got this same call about 5 minutes ago, they were very general and did not want to sound dumb asking for the company's name. I uploaded my information onto Monster yesterday 03/02/14 and applied to several different jobs. Thanks for this information and I will not be answering the "scheduled" phone interview tomorrow at 1015am.
I recieved a call from someone didnt carch the first name because if them talking so quickly. "After reviewing my resume would like to set up interview" would take 10 minutes who interviews in 10 minutes? Not taking call when interview is schuduled.
Wow! Got this same call on yesterday to set me up for a phone interview today at 12:30. The same person Linsey Wagner called me to set up the interview for her boss. I called the number back and I just keep getting a recording. I am glad I researched this I will not be answering my phone today at 12:30. She never gave me the name of the company.
