EDITOR'S POST
What about firms that say they're employer-paid, but try to get money from the candidate anyway?
Q. What about firms that say they're employer-paid, but try to get money from the candidate anyway?
A. Typically, a firm promises to set the candidate up for an interview, but asks for a collateral in the event she doesn't show up. This is a scam. Other scams include selling excerpts from the directories mentioned in Q-3.13 at exorbitant prices, charging candidates for e-mailing them job reqs available for free on the Internet, charging candidates $40 and more to have their resumes posted to misc.jobs.resumes, etc. Some firms charge thousands of dollars (!) for counseling. Desperate job-seekers make perfect victims for scam artists. Beware.
