ATS Scam Notice

There is a scam currently circulating on the internet.

Clients, please be cautious if you are approached by a “recruiting” firm and told you are being considered for an executive job. Here is what they will do:

  1. They will ask you to send your resume (and most likely, sign a non-disclosure agreement).
  2. You’ll get back an email stating that although they were able to open your resume, it could not be loaded properly into their ATS.
  3. They will send you a link to “score” your resume (or straight to a site to “fix” your resume for a fee).
  4. You’ll load your resume (with NO job announcement) to be scored. It will fail.
  5. You are sent to a website that will “fix” your resume for a fee.

This company changes names often to evade authorities.
