Is it real?

If you have read some of my past posts, I have been receiving emails from individuals with titles such as Recruiter or HR Director from agencies I have never heard from. Most of the time I will do a search on the company and/or contact’s email address before replying.

Today I received an email from Douglas Rowles, a Technical Recruiter with Iron Consulting & Staffing. While the email contained a signature with his contact information and a logo attachment, I still chose to search this company.

While the website appears to be legitimate, Iron Consulting & Staffing – Job Seekers I chose to dig a little deeper. One of the things companies can’t hide is, located at the bottom of every website, the identifier of the platform used to create and/or administer the site. The website for Iron Consulting & Staffing is “proudly created with Wix.com“, a FREE website builder.

I ask you, why would a professional consulting/staffing firm be using a free website builder? In addition to that, why would a company like this have “info@” as a contact email?

This one is a gem!

Here is an offer I received today:
