Has anyone else gone through a recruiting process that seemed suspicious? How can I tell if it was a scam?
Have you disclosed your pay as of late?
There are cunning little market rate surveyors out there that will pose as interested in speaking with you about a job that may or may not be open. Their actual objective is to gather data regarding the amount your employer is paying for your position. After that, this data is combined, anonymized, and offered for sale as market research! These surveys are used by many big businesses to make sure that their own pay is set in line with industry standards.
