emodel.com, Options Talent Group
To Whom It May Concern:
I saw an ad on Monster.com for a "Dream Job" with Options
Talent as a scout.
I filled out an online application and received an offer
for an interview.
This interview is to take place tomorrow, but after
looking through this site I'm a bit leery of attending.
Does Options Talent scam its clients and employees?
F.B.
F.,
Some former scouts who feel it is a scam say the
scam is at its worst against the scouts, not the clients.
The only clear difference between the alleged scam on
the clients and the claimed scam on the scouts is the
clients lose their money while the scouts waste their
time.
But if you feel time is money, and you could be making
real money elsewhere, guaranteed, you could say both
clients and scouts lose money they will never see again.
Please note there is an apparent "scam" in
the terminology used by Options Talent, to the extent
claims made are they say "employee," when they
really mean independent contractor; and they say "job" (salary)
when they really mean commission.
In any case, Options Talent is not likely to be something
you'll want to put in your resume if they become a big
news story like Enron.
The complaints against emodel/Options Talent re. employees/contractors
included not being up front, high turnover rates, false
or misleading advertising, and they tried to get free
labor.
Read the comments from people who were in the same boat
as you. The feedback from men and women who responded
to the Options Talent "Dream Job" ad on Monster.com,
and the emodel.com ad on Monster.com before that is here.
