Like the others who have posted here, I have received several emails from Employment Express Pro and the Career Network touting positions fitting my qualifications. On multiple occasions I have keyed in the SAME requested information for each position I applied for.
However, last Thursday, July 31, I received a solicitation for a position I had previously applied for directly with the featured company. Being a bit perplexed, and having time on my hands, I decided to call that company and uncovered some very interesting information.
First, they were NOT recruiting for the "featured" position because they did not have any current positions available. They had filled all of their openings for this project over the past two months. I also discovered that no one had ever heard of Employment Express Pro or the Career Network.
Second, I learned that this company outsources all of their HR/recruiting duties to a third party. So... I called the company that handles their HR and recruiting services. Upon speaking with the HR company I was given the same information I had received at the main company, there was nothing currently available. I also learned that these two companies had "worked together nearly 10 years." Amazingly, no one at this company had ever heard of Employment Express Pro or the Career Network either.
I sent an email to Employment Express Pro detailing this story and have yet get a response (go figure!?!). I am also in the process of filing a complaint with my State Attorney General, as well as the Federal Trade Commission, for fraudulent business practices.
Looking for work is HARD, period. It becomes exponentially more difficult when there are companies out there like Employment Express Pro / Career Network who provide NOTHING! Advertising and recruiting for non-existent positions at real companies is wrong. Now there are at least two companies and two State Attorney Generals offices who will be digging a little deeper into our friends operations.
