Good Morning, Has anyone had experiences with Recruiters calling by the dozens, and needing your birtdate and last 4 of your social to process? I know there are so many scams going on, and that makes me concerned. Ive had less foreign sounding recruiters call and they never ask for those details.

No way I would give birthdate and/or any SS numbers to a recruiter

Yeah, sounds like a scam.

It’s only legit if they ask for your mother’s maiden name.

Hopefully you didn't give any information. A recruiter has no use for that information and if in the US, they can not ask for your age.

Recruiters don't need any of that information. If someone is asking you that it is most likely a scam.

Most companies don’t want to get anywhere near your DOB and SSN until you are offered a job and going through the background check.

Sometimes it’s illegal
To ask how old you are

Do not give your personal information away. Usually recruiters have a portal for you to fill out your information.

Just accepted an offer with a psych startup. Not exactly the offer I was hoping for as I’m taking a slight pay cut ($73/hr) and it’s a 1099 position. I keep getting stuck on the 1099 piece because I’ll be working 40 hrs/wk, but have been told I’m not eligible to be a W2 employee. Needless to say, no benefits whatsoever. They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?
