What's the deal with fake recruiters? I get emails from people claiming to be recruiters, but they don't have LinkedIn or a website. Some even from gmail accounts. What's the scam here? Are they selling leads? Harvesting data? 🤨 Or maybe firms seeing if their employees are trying to leave? 🤨

Anyone else get these?

I know of a guy who has multiple aliases.

I instantly block any recruiting email, and then these folks make a new account so they can sen me another email. They’re out to get me

Def shady

I think they may be trying to sell leads. There is no bar to recruiting, so anyone can technically do it. It's up to candidates to vet their recruiters and select someone who understands the market and has strong relationships. Anyone using a gmail address, without a website, based outside of the US, or who doesn't have a legal background should be avoided when there are a lot of qualified, experienced recruiters in the market who live and work here.

This! If someone doesn't have an online footprint, something shady is going on.

Hi All, I have an urgent query regarding TCS BGC process. My issue is that I have worked in X, Y and Z companies.
In X company I worked for 26months but my pf account is there for last 13months, before that my salary was very low so sometimes I got salary in hand or in pay cheque. I do have salary account statement for most of the months except 3-4 months in between my tenure. Will I face any issue for this?
Note: I do have good relationship with X company.
Please give your valuable suggestions.

Is it important to tell recruiters your end goal when first reaching out? For example, I’m interested in switching from litigation to transactional, but my eventual goal is to go in house. Is that important to mention or precarious? Would recruiters have insight into the best way to make that goal happen?
