Awareness of Potential Recruitment Scams

Have you noticed that sometimes you may receive an email from an unknown placement service regarding an opening in an HR-related area? They demand your CV, and after receiving it, they may call to seek more clarity about your role in your current organization, etc.

After that, they may contact you two or three times for the same opening and become friendly with you. After spending some time, they may inform you that the opening is closed for some reason, asking for help in case your company is interested in recruiting through them.

I have noticed this happen many times, and now I feel it resembles a racket that should be identified, especially by new HR executives seeking a job change, as it can be demoralizing to receive such fake recruitment calls. Please share your experiences, and correct me if I am wrong.

That's right. Actually, for business development, they take HR professionals' mobile numbers from job boards and give them calls for empanelment with their consultancies. I have been receiving such calls, which is irritating, but we cannot stop them.
