CareerBuilder

Everything on the site is a scam. Every job I applied to came back as a scam. They do not vet their employers that are posting to the site.

Months ago I uploaded my resume on CareerBuilder after not having much luck on other sites. Literally the next day, I received numerous text messages for jobs (despite opting out of allowing texting) and emails. All data entry job scams and 'sales opportunities'.

After a few weeks of not getting anything but scams sent to me, I decided to take my information and resume off the site. Low and behold, CareerBuilder does not allow you to take your resume down yourself once you upload it. You have to fill out a form online asking for them to remove your information and resume. This alone is such a red flag, and should be grounds for a class action lawsuit. Why can I not take my OWN RESUME THAT I UPLOADED off of the website? It makes zero sense to me at all, how does this help users? After filling out this form, weeks later I received an email saying it is taking longer than expected, and that it would be another 30 days to take my account off their site. Are you joking? My assumption is that they get a flood of requests constantly because people come to the same realization that I did, and they can't keep up.

Ever since, I now get at least 3 phone calls a day from different numbers with the same area code and close to the same digits for the rest of the number. All of them immediately hang up when I answer. I block every single number, yet after months, I'm still getting calls EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. From new similar numbers to those I've already blocked.

My list of blocked numbers is astronomical at this point, and I cannot believe that just from uploading my resume on CareerBuilder, that I'm truly considering getting a new phone number due to all of these calls.

Reader, please DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT use CareerBuilder. You will have your information stored and so easily accessible to scammers, and you can't take down your own resume once you put it in. Literally any other job website is better than this one. I hope one day there is a class action lawsuit filed against this company because their practices are foul, and they obviously do not care about their users data security at all.

I posted my resumewith carrer builderjob application: sf******* as an Administrative Assistant/ office clerk, and asupposed lawyer named Colby Moore email rebarnow.com had a job were he sent me a 2 $2,380.

A 49 YEAR OLD MAN UNEMPLOYED, AND 76 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO EMAILED HIM LAST WERE SCAMED INTO BELEIVING THIS WAS WORK...

To make a long story short because I've already tried typing this review on other sites, and I'm tired of my reviews being deleted. I recently was contacted about a job offer at Tanium INC via text to be an administrative assistant. I got as far as my 3rd day, before I was "paid." I even signed my name on a scanned document for this job. Thank God I didn't deposit the $4,000 cashiers check they emailed for 3 days of work. I didn't give out my social security number either, which they didn't ask me for. They contacted me via text by the name Thomas Stanley, who actually works for the company. However, somebody is using Thomas Stanley's name to fake recruit & scam "employees." I'm pissed I even gave them my name, address & telephone number, but it could have been worse. NEVER ACCEPT A CHECK BY EMAIL ITS NOT OFFICIAL. Job was $22/hr training and $50/hr after. I should've known, if it looks to good to be true it REALLY IS. These people said they saw my resume on Career Builder. I've been logging on for 3 days straight, via Zoom to do BS "assignments" (typing essays) on being an administrative assistant. They "paid" me on day 3, $4,000. Called the bank on the misspelled check and they confirmed it was fake and had received a call earlier about the same thing. I asked if "employer" (TANIUM INC) THOMAS STANLEY had time for a video call so I can see who I'm speaking with. They THEN, called from a texting app, instead of a company phone, and it was a heavy accented african man on the line. The real Thomas Stanley at Tanium INC looks American to me. HERE ARE THE EMAILS THEY CONTACTED ME FROM!

ALSO, you should NEVER have to screenshot to confirm you received paychecks or depositing info. SENDER/EMPLOYER should be able to SEE that from their own end, on their own!

I'm deleting career builder and sticking with Indeed. This is the first time this has happened to me.

SCAM. BEWARE.
