***Beware -- they are collecting personal information *** This recruiter reached out to me for a contract with a legitimate company but did not have a JD and lied that there are notes from the manager. This notes were incoherent and did not reflect the role , this person was talking about. He then went not ask for last 4 of SSN , my birth month/date and other information., all with the promise to submit directly to the manager. Later he wouldn't pick up the phone even after multiple calls. He finally messaged me saying they were not submitting. After relooking at the information he sent as a substitute for JD , I realized that this was in all likelihood falsehood. Recruiter's collect resumes on false pretexts, unethical and infuriating but jus have to live with it. Collecting personal information is a new low . After this I looked up if there any other instances and found another recruiter from the same company, different state though. In that case he had a legitimate JD for a contract at consulting firm. He too apparently collected personal information with the promise of submitting but there was never any interview. Again collecting resumes under false pretense is wrong but is hazard with job searches. Collecting personal information is a terrifying , hope they pass a law against it. As for Apex System, if anyone from your firm calls me again or my identity is stolen , I will hand this to an attorney. And also will make sure that appropriate light is focused on this practice.
