Who sent me this text?

I'm not sure, but I got one too.

Is anyone going to call them back?

I was really hoping someone knew who sent this text. Oh well...

Why didn't they just tell us who they are?

I called and it was a job search company

This number is a part of Careers Inc, which is a verification service for employers for hundreds of different job boards. I'm a representative of Careers and would like to clarify why you're getting a text from us on this number.

We receive a large quantity of resumes for thousands of positions across the country, and our job is to verify that your contact information is correct. Employers use Careers because they get such a massive response to job postings. It's very hard for any company to sort through interested applicants - people are not reachable, their phone numbers are disconnected, or their email is invalid or typo'd on their resume. This leads to frustration on both ends, where applicants receive no response and employers get bad contact info for an otherwise qualified individual.

Careers attempts to contact applicants to confirm that their information is correct - if it is not, then we help them to correct it and update the employer on the applicant's status.

We do not ask for any sensitive information such as SSN. We do not charge for our service. We will never ask you for anything beyond confirming what's already in your resume on file.
