Description

I applied on LinkedIn and the alleged company reached out in less than 2 business days to have the first interview with Christiana E Hamilton. With AI at an all time high, it is not unusual for communication to be through an app. This alleged company used the app called Signal. In which they conducted my entire first recruiter interview through. The interview took well over an hour and 40 minutes. I know this sounds crazy but they pin it to being “flexible” so that you can have your interview. I am in dire need for a job, so I was not in any position to say anything. The very next morning at 7:29 am CST, the alleged head of department, Aaron B. Phills sent me an email as “Welcome to Acciona Advocates”. I thought it was odd after only one “interview” and it was through an app. I never spoke with an actual human being. I was given a rather detailed offer, that was familiar to me (as I have been in HR for 8 years). Though the one item that was a big red flag was that they mentioned a background check and I received an offer before any background check was initiated (in which I never received to date). Upon asking specific questions, I would get a “dance around” the question. Then on July 3rd, a week to date after I applied, urgency that I receive this particular fedex package and I could not start without it. Mind you they did not provide a laptop/cell/printer or anything! I let them know I had everything needed in order to start. This is where I began to have an idea that this offer was not actually legitimate. Come Monday, July 7th, they reached out to me, stating that it was imperative that I reach out myself to fedex to see where this package was. I let them know that I could start without the package, as the first week was training. Once I began to show hesitation and concerns, they stopped reaching out to me. All of this was on a timeline of only 8 business days. I pray that no one else is in my situation, in dire need of a job, and becomes their next target.
