A representative contacted me after finding my resume online on behalf of a client. She went over my qualifications and skills to confirm them, as well as my compensation expectations. After determining, I was indeed a potential match for the client. She set up a Zoom meeting with another staff member for a more in-depth interview. Prior to the Zoom, I visited the Network's website to both confirm the position was a posted opening and to obtain as much information about the criteria the client required for hire and any preferences. Zoom meeting was with a second employee at LaSalle, which was very similar to the phone screening. No behavioral questions or where do you see yourself in 5 yrs type questions. Zoom call was very brief. Staff member did ask me to supply 2 previous supervisor references and their contacts, which I did. The Zoom staff member then thanked me for my interest but said they don't have any roles open at the moment, but they do have a regular client who posts openings for the role fairly frequently. Remember, Representative 1 contacted me, I didn't go to them, AND I verified the open post on the website. I am well-qualified for the role and should be an easy hire. I dressed professionally for the Zoom and spoke clearly. Representative 1 asked me for friend referrals, and I declined. AVOID THIS COMPANY, clearly they use deceptive practices to obtain candidates to market to clients. And, IF there is a client who does post openings for this role in frequent intervals, RED FLAG. Why? Impossible performance metrics? Burn-out? Are the clients' customers abusive? SERIOUSLY, run fast and far.
