I dont know if I'm posting this in the wrong place, so if I am tell me and I'll repost in a better thread. I've seen a lot of discussion regarding whether or not MedJobsInc.com is a reputable recruiting agency, and I finally have the truth. THEY ARE A SCAM. I received an email from someone name "Mike Robinson" about a position with St. Jude Medical, and how they were requiring candidates to purchase a subscription to MJI (MedJobsInc.com) so they could do preliminary background checks and phone screens. It just didn't sit right with me. I did a little research and found a lot of threads about similar BOGUS emails, and then I found several Better Business Bureau investigations surrounding them as well for not only lying about who they were, but no collecting ANY actual job postings or placing ANYONE with an actual job.
SO, I called St. Jude, and told them the situation, and they said they had MANY people calling in with the same information, and they were in the process of formally investigating and intended to prosecute. I had to speak with someone and give them my statement of what happened, as well as my information, and forwarded copies of the emails. So to all of you out there (who I suspect are actually the scumbags at MJI) that keep trying to post anonymously and validate this crap- you're busted. St. Jude Medical has confirmed that a number of large companies are becoming aware of this and they eventually will be taken down. Furthermore, I work with several very reputable recruiters through friends and for myself over the years, and NO RECRUITER will EVER require you to PAY for any site or service to do anything ... that's what the ACTUAL recruiters get paid for by the companies, hence a HUGE red flag of a SCAM. Sorry to ramble its just disgusting that this day in age with so many people desperately looking for work, there are jerks like this out here taking another $30 a month from honest people who might already be in a tight spot while job searching. Hope this helps and Happy Job Hunting to all !
