Just posted on r/recruitinghell as well.
I am just getting sick and tired of seeing job postings several times that I'm like “huh… that looks exactly like something I saw 1 or 2 months ago…almost verbatim…” as well as seeing said job posting from 1 company then seeing basically the same copy/pasted with a few minor changes on 2 other companies postings. This is usually the scheme it is and you can call me racist or whatever but it's a trend I keep seeing and have seen plenty of examples of in articles and here on reddit.
Actual legit recruitment company – all white people names.
The other companies – all Indian names who try to connect instantly on LinkedIn. I've read this is to mainly then find all YOUR connections to just snag their info and hope to resume farm some more. Also these are basically the minions that get your info to their “boss” a.k.a the actual recruiter for a legit recruitment company or the actual hiring team. Now of course I can't be certain if the legit recruitment company is using the minions to do their job or the minions are just scammers and just resume farming hoping to steal and sell personal info or offer said fake job and try to ask for SSN and other things like that.
Here are 3 companies I see this happening with all the time. I hope this info even gets to a few people to keep track if this post gets removed.
Potential actual recruitment company – Motion recruitment
The minions – Qualified Recruiter, LLC and Stage 4 Solutions
