Algomod Technologies Corporation is a JOKE!

Carrie — Tue, 06 May 2008 09:27:40 -0700

I receive emails from this recruiter several times a month, actually received one today. The job of course sounds to good to be true. As the saying goes if it does then it usually is.
On one ocassion I replied to one which was a contracting position with AT&T. The recruiter replied asking me for my SS#. In turn I asked her why she needed it, and needless to say I never heard another word from her.

Excellent Job Offer

Another "Just as received" for the Ohio position, you'll notice the text is identical to the Hello Good Day posting. Internet job portal? Wow... This one is only 7 months instead of 8 months, even though it was received the same day as the Hello Good Day posting. I'm still not interested in short-term contract only positions. How many times do I need to say that?

Hello!! Good Day!!

Just as I received it. I'm not qualified for this position, and I clearly state that I'm not interested in short-term contract only positions. Another case of blast-it-out email tactics.

What to do in such a situation

danoomistmatiste — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 19:14:15 -0800

Don't know if people have been in such a situation. This recruiting agency arranged for an interview with company A which I attended and shortly after (next day) was informed that they were interested in hiring me for a 3 month contract to hire position. The rates were discussed and I also signed the paperwork. Later this recruiting agency informs me that they were not sure of the start date due to some internal organizational changes in the HR dept of Company A (which had been bought over by Company B a few months earlier).

Remington International - Unethical Behavior

Recruiters to AVOID — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 14:33:50 -0700

This is my alleged experience with Remington International in the Los Angeles area:

Remington International took my resume from DICE.com and called me. I went in for a personal interview and met with several of their "children" recruiters. They operate like a paper mill, syphoning contact information from their "candidates" in order to make new contacts at other companies for the purpose of making money off other agencies hard-earned clients. Beware of this practice. It is highly unethical and not whatsoever standard practice by reputable recruiting agencies. Do NOT give out this information to these people.
