I have recently been job searching for sometime. I received a job referral for Docusign and thought it would be a good opportunity. I emailed the recruiter and instantly they made me reach out to resume builder that charges almost $500 to rebuild your resume. I found that weird because thats an excessive price to tell a job seeker looking for work.

Is this weird or common recruiter practice?

It is strange. I had a similar experience and my partial remake was $600, but it was 90% finished (no offer to give me back 10% of the charge).

The corp. I applied to just mentioned it was “old style” resume, but didn’t refer me to any resume remake source. Maybe Docusign has a little kick-back? Did you ask them why that source?

I didnt but after the resume was done and resubmitted they asked for a cover letter. Then the resume builder wanted to charge an additional $700 to complete the cover letter.

Ever hear of AI!

Ugh. That's not normal. They are using you to sell a Resume Service. Was the Recruiter from Docusign ? I would not proceed.

The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it
