Number doesn't matter tbh. At least try finding an unpaid ( Paid if possible) internship which gives genuine tasks and similar benefits.

I saw opening in linkedin, emailed the Hr. They called and said they have a opening for an unpaid internship. They said they will give assignment, and i have to pay 1000 as certification fee, and they they will refer me for paying jobs.

New sort of scam?

New sort of scam?- Grapevine

So, I am looking for senior level jobs and  usually referall /direct connects have worked better. But today I had to upload my resume on shine.com 'cuz the opening on linkedin, redirected me there.
Within an hour I got a call from an agency called evolution planner and what seemed like a young boy in an animated voice asking if am looking out etc. What spiked my curiosity was him asking if am looking outside India, which is not usual opening question.
Now its usual for consultants to call so it was sll okay till he said there will be a small fees. Now again, I know of senior folks who deploy headhunters and I was like maybe these people have got my profile from somewhere and are looking to source business from me. I wouldn't have paid but I entertained to see where this is going. He said Microsoft, Oracle etc have shortlisted me. Funny given I have worked in startups in marketing ( and not even tech ) so don't knw whats the skillset match. Anyway he told me to create an account and my final red flag was when he said site name like www Dot..lol who says it like that. I cut the call pretending am getting another call and he can call me later. He asked me to confirm since he will have to hold the client for me. Lol
It's happened with me for the 1st time and unfortunately searching this company name doesn't throw any negative reviews either. But this is a scam,right ? Also since when did google start recruiting like this.
Have you heard of this company?
Also have you had such experiences.?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

I am a victim of this Fraud. They called me and shared me a Data Analyst opportunity details and took my telephonic screening round. Then there was a technical test as well. Post that next day there was video interview. Everything went well then 2 days later they shared a manager feedback and call me saying that I have been selected. But my technical score is low so i have to finish a course before onboarding. They shared the offer letter as well on the same day. And asked me shared all the documents and shared the course enrolment link which was of 17k. They also mentioned that my money will be refunded with my 1st salary credit. When I investigated further and checked with other HR by messaging them on Linkedin, I got to know that it was a SCAM.
As I am actively searching for a data analyst opportunity. Please help me with the referrals.
And beware of such frauds. It was really heartbreaking for me.

Fraudulent hiring for Godrej & Boyce

Data Analyst

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hello all,

This incident happened with one of my friend. She is looking for a job change and these people contacted her saying she is selected for interview with Godrej and Boyce. His name is Aniket Archarya 
His linkedin profile 
https://www.linkedin.com/in/aniket-acharya-054647108

She passed all the rounds which were only for 15 mins( she appeared for data analyst role). He called her today stating she performed well and but her Power Bi skills are not upto the mark but still the management decided to go ahead with her. He mailed her the offer letter and but there was no joining date mentioned. When inquired he told her that she has to do one certification in order to get onboarded which costed around 17,994 INR. This is the portal of the course http://deep-learning.school

Since she found this strange she investigated in linkedin contacted other HRs who have verified badge. They confirmed its a scam. 

To all out there beware of these frauds masking themselves as HRs

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

My friend just landed a job at a well-known MNC. However, the recruiter is requesting payment for their efforts in securing the position for my friend. How can we handle this situation tactfully?

I am a fresher and as we are aware that market conditions are not so good. I have joined some job posting groups where recruiters used to post regarding any openings. One guy claimed himself to be an employee of a reputed product based company asked for my resume as he have shared some openings in SDE role in his company.So i shared him my resume and then he msged me that  he will assure my joining letter by 25th if I promise him 1st month salary 's 5% compensation and se***l compromise. What the hell is going on.

Often on LinkedIn we have encountered such posts which say x company has y opening, drop your email and I will DM you referral link/mail you z stuff, etc. A question always arises in my mind, DO THESE PEOPLE LEGIT MAIL/DM STUFF??? OR IS IT JUST ATTENTION SEEKING STRATEGIES OR SIMPLY FRAUDULENT WAY FOR GETTING EMAILS???

Truth behind such posts

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Today, I was thinking about an employee referral email I received from HR, HeyCoach. It made me reflect on how things have changed. Before, as regular people, we often didn't know about job openings or how to apply because they were filled through employee referrals. It makes me wonder how the job search process has evolved. Do you think it's easier now with job sites? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Do Job sites help Real Talents get Jobs at Top MNCs?

Recently saw this news: https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/pune-man-undergoes-full-medical-check-up-before-joining-date-ends-up-losing-rs-24-lakh-2461256-2023-11-10

In March 2023, a man received a call from someone claiming to be a recruitment executive for a global carmaker's India unit. 

They convinced him he was shortlisted for a senior position but asked for a fee of Rs 1,600 to register. 

The scammers kept asking for more money over five months, including Rs 28,000 for a uniform, Rs 80,000 for a check-up, and Rs 2.4 lakh as a salary advance. .

However, after paying around Rs 24 lakh in around 40 transactions, the man realized that he had been cheated
--

How and why people fall for these? Also how they make over 40 transactions? 

Also a lot more people have fallen for scams than I initially thought. It's only when you tell them a story about other scams they tell their story.

I happen to finally go for premium since I ran out of invites. And bro I’ve been bombarded with job suggestions left and right . I have applied for 3-4 hours straight, just can’t believe it.
Just a day back my feed was dry as a desert.
So if you’re looking for jobs go for Premium at least till you get few offers
