Beware the Recruiter Bait and Switch: Get References!

There’s a slimy bait and switch tactic that’s been pretty common this year, and it’s the recruiter bait and switch. They send you a letter that looks like this:

Dear Victim,

Nice to find you on linkedin. I'm contacting you as your work experience looks
like a good fit for roles at AwesomeCompany.com .

Cheers, Slimy Recruiter

Then they tell you that the job that they were originally trying to fill is gone, but they have other jobs available at SlaveLabor.com.

The sad thing is that if you dig around, you find out that these recruiters never had a relationship with AwesomeCompany.com and are really just working for SlaveLabor.com .

Takeaway: Get references from your recruiter of people that have placed.
