resumes-experts SCAM ALERT

I was contacted by a supposed headhunter who asked for a resume because he had an opportunity to discuss with me After I sent it out he came back saying that he was having problems uploading the file to the system issues with not being able to read it due to formatting He suggested me using resumes-experts for that Went to the site uploaded my resume to be reviewed by experts for free they sent me back an assessment with lots of recommendations and I decided to pay 90 US to get my resume ATS-optimized This ATS stuff means that it should be able to pass through correct parsing of information the automated resume filters that most of the big companies use to screen candidates I sent them a word file and they sent me back a pdf visually identical to the original red flag alert They said that the algorithm they use works on the layout of the page and not on how it looks After a couple of weeks I needed to change some wording on my resume a limited amount of changes were included as part of the service and asked the folks at resumes-experts to do their magic and send me back the new file No answer Second red flag Something fishy was going on so I decided to test as a new customer and for free on their own site the file that was supposedly optimized the one I paid 90 bucks for I got an answer saying that my resume was not optimized that required a bunch of changes and sure enough that they would fix it for more I complained to them about this and not even a whisper as a reply They disappeared I am mad I fell for this but there is no other word for them thieves As for the HH I sent them my super-duper-optimized CV and lo and behold after a week of silence and some prodding I got an answer saying that the opportunity was withdrawn Where they in cahoots Who knows but it definitely makes sense using this modus operandi Buyer behold

I don t get scammed and usually see

I don t get scammed and usually see these coming These guys are either a scam or work with scammers I was approached separately by a search firm and was directed to RE since the resume was not ATS compliant Paid the fee - 155 and sent the resume to search firm and discovered they were not for real I went back to RE and they agreed to refund my money told me I should see it in my bank with 3 days and that was 3 months ago scammed again I have asked again and again and now no response I will report to FCC- watch out for these people Not good

Optimized resume may be a scam

I was contacted by a theoretical recruitment company named Jason recruitment for an executive position They asked a CV and later replied that the CV was not ok and should be revised by Optimized resume They wrote the message below Be careful We are having an issue with your resume We can open the file without any issues but the problem is with the way information in your resume is structured and formatting used which is resulting in a lot of missing information in experience fields when your resume is parsed by the candidate management systems Please check your resume and try fixing the issue so we can load your resume in our candidate tracking system I converted the file type and tried both Word and PDF but still having the same issue I asked my colleague and apparently it is a common issue He instructed me to ask you to check your resume through optimisedresumes com and see if you can identify and fix the problem

Scam

Same as below but after the recruiters two attempts to get me to ats optimize my resume and emails not returned I did my research and figured out it s a scam Yes the client backed out so there was no job to discuss They didn t get my money Btw- the address and why you can t call them as on their web page should be a red flag Address Office 9 3rd floor United Plaza Blue Area Islamabad

Scam

Yeah Got the same boiler plate email Went to the website and noticed poor grammar and misuses of singular v plural that made me second guess Found the reviews here that confirms a scam Good luck and stay safe out there Next step is to report them to BBB or anywhere else that may be able to stop this

Same scam with a side of identity theft

I fell for verbatim the same scam as all the reviews below I could copy and paste the same phony recruiter emails However did anyone else have their identity stolen from this company Less than 24 hours since my resume was reviewed I have emails of new bank accounts that I did not open I am now in the middle of freezing my credit I m usually very careful and yet still fell for this scheme Please no one else fall for this scam

Complete scam

Complete scam They send emails from a BS company called Exec Search Pros Inc where they say that your resume format is not integrating into their system They sent me to the Resume expert website to pay 10 for a resume review I haven t used my resume in a long time so I thought maybe my old format was not lining up to new tech I was wrong and I smell future class action against this company soon
