I applied to this company in early February 2014, and received a response back from their HR department within 24 hours that they had already reviewed my resume and thought that I would be a good fit for what they were looking for. That immediately set off a warning bell in my head, as I had just spent the last four months looking for work with hardly anyone bothering to go to a second step (and that was a pre-screening questionnaire).
I did not specify which position I was applying for (I simply submitted a resume with no cover letter for a generic ad on CareerBuilder.com, which I found out after was also posted en masse on many job boards).
I left a voicemail for their office at 8:30 a.m., but never received any contact until 1:00 p.m., when I called again (no one picked up) and someone finally responded back a couple minutes later. I was initially told by the HR "manager" that I would be a good fit for the management program.
I was also told that I would be giving "presentations to Fortune 500 companies" and was asked how soon I could start. I told them I could start in a week, but that question set off more alarm bells. I was also asked if I could get downtown easily, and if I was looking for full-time work.
Afterwards, I checked out the company and discovered several reviews accusing it of being a scam (including many on this website), which made me scuttle the interview and cut off contact with them.
Coming from my last job (public relations manager), I also did some research and saw that the company had next-to-no press exposure. The most I found was a release (distributed through a free PR distribution service) with them responding to a finance report. I came from a company that had ties to major press distribution channels (Marketwire, Canada Newswire), and this also didn't sit right with me.
In the end, I did not pursue the opportunity further. Reading through these reviews, I think I did the right thing.
