Many people report these offers to us, pointing out that a) they are unsolicited messages (in other words, they don't know how the sender found out they were looking for work), and b) the jobs never match the their experience. We believe it...

7. Thallium Career Search

Another Career Network offering. We don't care much for this "company" and the way they do business. They imply by their activities that they're into recruiting and hiring, but it's just advertising to them. They purchase web site...

The recipient of this offer reported having absolutely zero experience in mechanical drafting - didn't even know what it was. And when this "recruiter" says he's including basic info, he's not kidding. You get zilch. This is another...

10. employment-expresspro.com / Blaine Personnel, Inc.

We've been seeing a lot of these, and here's what we think. Career Network is pumping out new Web sites by the hundreds per month, aggregating jobs from sites you could just as easily search yourself, and then encouraging you to come on down and...

This "recruiter" is claiming to recruit for Volt, who is a legitimate employment recruiter. Volt places technical contractors with various big-name companies and doesn't use these kinds of services to find their candidates. ...
