LRC - Gardner-Ray
Job Search email Scam

Another phony executive search firm preying on the market of job seekers in a recession. They're very well-known for this behavior in the past, they find your information on the Web as an active seeker, exploit it for the email address, send you a note to tell you that they considered you for a position (they'll never tell you what it is) and then refer you to these guys.

If you call them, they'll tell you how marketable you are, and if you give them just $X, XXX, they'll make sure that they come up with a program to market you. Many others have complained in the past that they do absolutely nothing for you but collect your money. Avoid at all costs — they give legitimate recruiters a bad reputation, and few legitimate search firms will ever ask for a retainer to market a truly qualified candidate (they get their money from the client company). Here's their standard note below:

Your resume was presented to me by our research staff for a search that we were recently engaged to work on. Although you have a marketable background, it was not a match for this assignment. Should there be other opportunities in the future, we will immediately re-contact you.

If you are actively engaged in a job search, you may want to contact LRC. They are an aggressive research team that supports the national search efforts of search firms, consulting firms and end users, as well as candidates such as yourself.

You can give Elizabeth Johnston a call at 312/616-9954.
Sincerely yours,
