got a text, wants me to call back, any info on them?

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.

Spoke with a very nice man on the phone and it was all legit!

So, i also received one from them. I am aplying for a job, so in your opinion its ok to call?

The company's main objective is to get you to an advisor of some online college.  After they "confirm" they have all of your info correct on the resume.....  Questions like "do you plan on attending college?" (which has nothing to do with my application) are asked.  It is legit but it isn't about you and the job it's about getting people trying to find work interested in online college.  (like we have the money)

yea talked to a guy and confirmed and hung up less than 5 mins.

That is the impression I got. Of all the questions they could have asked they pretty much ended the conversation when I let them know I was not interested in continuing an education.
