quasi-legit.... they only do their job correctly when they think they will get caught....
if they open h1b visa quotes up to max again... they are going to be the first company
to sack American contractors in favor of indians h1bs....
If you get a call from mindlance... you are working for a company that is or will become h1b dependent in future because that's what happens when hire people from India to find Americans jobs...
I had the same experience, I received a job offer by phone, and they ask for my birthday and last four digit of my social security the agency is named Mindlance, from N J the phone number is 732-898-1993, is a fraudulent agency.
I got my call this morning, which I dumped in VM. Then came an email from the guy. His name is Arun Kumar. The email is where I found Mindlance Inc, as the company he was calling from. First of all, in the VM, he paused when telling me about a job opportunity long enough to refer back to his notes about the area where I live. I cant trust this barely English speaking guy to be legit when he doesn't even know what is the largest city near me, as the location of the job he's calling about. And if it were an honest place I really don't think everyone's first point of contact would be from a person you can barely make out a few words per sentence at best. Besides, I find it odd an employment agency out of state would be calling me for real work. I trust my instincts, and my instincts says forget it. 732-753-0094 is the number that called me.
Mindlance called me today for an engineering position. Yes they do make you very skeptical wanting to know your birthday??? I feel that was a weird interview question to ask at the time. I hope I did not send my information/ resume to a scam artist. I did research on the company and the website looks legit. But anyone can make a website!!! I suppose to get a call next week for an interview in person so I will see how this goes and give you guys an update. But I will go on to say I wouldn't advise anyone to give out private information over the phone to anyone especially that can barely speak the English language.
