Does anyone else think that companies are just gathering applicant data and selling? They're acquiring a lot of demographic data with the hundreds of applications per job that they never look at.

That’s an interesting point, I hadn’t thought of this. Another paranoia unlocked!

I've seen people questioning that a lot, and I suspect that's not happening for practical reasons. It's a lot of effort for legitimate companies to go through to sell applicant data. However, I think there are scammers operating on LinkedIn and elsewhere that are doing something akin to that, building databases that can be exploited for email scams. Scammers operating things like the "fake check scam" may be finding their prospects through sketchy job postings.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if that were the case. Especially when it comes to the fact that a lot of scammers out there who are just looking to make a quick buck at the job seeker's expense.

Who knows? However with that said you can't trust anyone and you need to be on your guard at all times in order to avoid such a thing

Wouldn't surprise me.

Also haven't thought of this. Although, most applications don't have gender, race, age, socioeconomic information on them, or other kinds of demographic markers used in a lot of statistics. Unless they're straight up selling emails, phone numbers, and addresses for shady business.

I do know employment scams are a thing. I've seen it in human trafficking CEs. They can gather a lot of information about you.... Not that we need more fears!

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
