Scam Description
Contact attempt on 10/20/2023 via email from Clay Marting from PE Recruting about a Vice President of Technology role with a company they represent but refused to provide name. Asked for my resume. i provided. They replied said it was not parsable into their ATS system, and sent me to some ATS website that charged a fee of $17 to “convert” the resume into a format they required. I did not fall for this, but instead found a free service that created a fully ATS compliant resume format and created a DOCX and PDF version and provided both to him. They then replied an said that once again it did not work and pointed me to the same place. This is where I became highly suspicious as I know the data I provided to them was 100% compliant with ATS standards.
When I did some Google searches on the company, their emails, names, etc.. it let me to several reports of the scam process, and eventually to here to report it.
I have uploaded the email thread of the contact.
