A "Trina Thornton" from PE Talent Seek emailed me about a VP of Transformation role for a confidential company and requested my resume. Email 1 from "Trina": "Hi, Hope you’re doing well. I wanted to get in touch regarding a unique opportunity. For their recently acquired company, one of our private equity customers is looking for a candidate to fill the position of VP Transformation. An outside third-party agency recommended you to me, and I believe your background is a perfect fit for this position. Please reply to this email with your resume if you are interested. I’ll work with our client and get back to you with further information about the next step. Just to be clear, there is no charge for candidates. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Trina Thornton Senior Recruiting Specialist" I responded with my resume and phone number to contact me. Email 2 from "Trina": "Hello, Your experience is aligned with the role, but your resume is not ATS-friendly. Kindly adapt your resume to be ATS-friendly as I need it asap. For creating an ATS friendly resume, please visit https://atscompliantresume.com/ and send me your ats resume once the recommended website has completed it. For now, precise details about the role and our client are under wraps due to confidentiality protocols. Once we align our schedules, I’ll shed more light on this. I’ll review my calendar and circle back with potential timelines for our continued discussion. Regards, Trina Thornton" Website requires you to spend $17 but I learned this is a scam when I researched the website, the PE talent website, and LinkedIn. The PE talent website status was highlighted as "Suspicious" by McAfee.
