There are some legit organizations doing shenanigans. I had a couple of incidents with CyberCoders. One was a recruiter contacted me to see if I would be interested in a job (without telling me WHO the job was with, but told me it was near me). I told her I was, sent her my resume at which point she stopped responding. After a few days I started googling sentences from the job listing and found the job listing. It was in Monterrey Mexico, and was closed already. (There were very unique sentences in the job listing, so it was easy to isolate). When I sent her an e-mail linking to the job listing and asking what kind of game she was playing she responded that that was NOT the job she had. (And then went back to not responding).
A month or so later I get an e-mail from a different recruiter at CyberCoders asking if I’d be interested in this OTHER job. I got him on the phone before I sent him my resume and got him to tell me the company. I checked their website, and they DID have the job he was talking about. So, I figured he has a connection in the company, I sent him my resume. At which point he stopped responding. “Voicemail is full”, no response on e-mails, and if you call the CyberCoders office and ask for him you get sent to the full voicemail. I waited 2 weeks, and then contacted the company directly. They e-mailed me back the next day to set up an interview 2 days later, and I got the job. The first week I had to visit the office in Arizona, and I asked my manager about CyberCoders, and he said he’d never heard of them. During that week the recruiter reaches out to say that he’s talking to a guy at the company, but hasn’t gotten any response about my resume. I ask for the guy’s name. He gives it to me. That guy is sitting next to me. I ask him: “Do you know CyberCoders?” No “Have you ever heard this name?” No. I confront the recruiter “This guy says he’s never heard of you”. He then says “You’re not there, you’re just making this up. I’m talking to this guy”. So I walk to the lobby, and take a selfie of me standing in front of the logo on the wall, and send it to him. Along with a nasty note that I didn’t appreciate him lying to me and wasting my time. And he had the nerve to ask “Why are you mad?”
Foreign contract sites often list “jobs: to gather resumes to use as cover for H1B workers
If questioned can say they were actively trying to recruit American workers, but could not find any qualified before bringing in their collies
