Infuriation: enabling non-English-speaking "recruiters" to harass job seekers, phony job solicitation
ASK Staffing is an Indian-owned shop in the Atlanta suburbs. Ordinarily, the Recruiting Hall of Shame doesn't bother to list Indian recruiters, as they're so numerous and so obviously incompetent that listing these wastes of oxygen would be a waste of time and bytes. However, as with Artech and Pyramid Consulting, sometimes these firms are so egregiously unsettling that they need to be exposed as the unprofessional slime that they are.
Worse even then Artech and Pyramid's phone harassers, ASK Staffing has trained and enabled so-called recruiters, mostly unintelligible, to solicit resumes based on a phony job. Further, although neither of the two ASK recruiters who harassed our job seeker via phone could have had normal access to his phone number, at least one of those recruiters has access to another phone number from ten years ago, in another town, when the job seeker was in another line of work than the phony job they were claiming.
This particular job seeker does not list his phone number on the resume published on CareerBuilder, Monster, and Dice. Neither is the phone number in his profile on those sites. Instead, the first line of his resume says directly: "Recruiters, please email job description before calling." This is designed to weed out the myriad call-first-read-never recruiters who work only on keyword searches, not bothering to read resumes or notice geographic locations.
The claimed job was a phony one, purportedly from AT&T, although no such job was found anywhere on the Web. When a major company such as AT&T posts a contract job requisition, dozens of resume-shuffling contract agencies descend on that req like flies on poop, and the job description begins popping up almost immediately all over the Web. Not this one, though.
Finally, ASK Staffing's Simon Munipalli made repeated hang-up calls, then persisted in calling SIX TIMES IN THREE DAYS AFTER BEING BLOCKED.
