After answering an add for an office/clerical position on craigslist, I received this email:
Darren Fittingham [[email protected]]
We would like to thank you for sending your resume to Pearson Recruitment & Partners. After reviewing your initial credentials, I think you could possibly be a great fit for our company.
Our Human Resource manager would like to schedule an interview with you before she leaves for vacation early next week. You need to complete the pre-interview screening before we can schedule an interview, which can be found at http://work-at-pearson.info or the career link on our homepage. Your applicant code is 751601.
Please write down your code, as that is the only way you can gain access to your application and employee profile. Once you complete your screening someone from HR will contact you within 72 hours to schedule an interview.
Respectfully
Darren Fittingham
Pearson Recruitment & Partners
On the 2nd page of the "assessment"-
In compliance with the USA Patriot Act www.pearson-recruitment.com is required to maintain documentation confirming the identity of all employees. Our identity verification/background check program is through Experian/Equifax, which is in the form of a credit check. This identity verification is completely free to you while allowing us to receive an electronic response much quicker than traditional background checks (less invasive too). By completing the background check/credit report we will NOT receive any of your private credit history details or personal information. We simply receive your first and last name, and an "Ok" to proceed if there are no background discrepancies.
This step is required before we are able to schedule an interview. Also, keep in mind that our decision to hire you is not determined at all by your personal credit score or history.
Please note - for the identity verification/background check we cannot accept a scanned, faxed, or emailed report because we will not be able to electronically verify your identity from our end. So be certain to use the following link, which will direct you to a secure application through a credit reporting company linked to our Experian/Equifax account:
Click Here To Complete ID Verification
(will open in a new window)
(If you happen to already be a member at above link, or have trouble signing up, use the link below for a different provider.)
Click Here
When you complete the credit check you will be given a customer number. Keep this handy, as it will help facilitate things during your interview with the HR Manager.
Once you have completed your credit check, please enter your initials and click Submit.
We will forward your information to the Hiring Manager as soon as the verification has been completed and contact you to schedule an interview.
The link opens a page to buy a credit monitoring service. Of course I did not fill out any information on that page. I put my initials saying that I did though, and got on the next page-
Thank you Suzanna Suzanna. Your candidate package has been sent to the HR Manager. We will be in touch in the next few days to schedule your interview. Please take the time to prepare.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please send an email.
I will update if I receive anything else from them.
