Recruiters / Hiring Manager Scams:

 Recruiters / Hiring Manager Scams:


Let the buyer beware:


Scammers pose as "subject matter experts" or in "positions of authority" and claim that job seekers’ resumes need to meet applicant tracking system (ATS) standards before they can be considered for roles.


If you are told that you resumes is not ATS compliant, ASK WHY. BEFORE YOUR ASK - take 10 minutes (yes 10 minutes, not 60 minutes) to learn the fundamentals of ATS. It will be a good exercise for you (you should always as them, as well as a resume writer why your resume is not compliant!!!)


Concerning the scam, No matter how many revisions are made, the scammers (in this case, recruiters / hiring managers) insist resumes are noncompliant and direct job seekers to a paid service. These services are fraudulent, and the supposed job openings never exist.
