I'm currently looking for work and was contacted last week by a company interested in my LinkedIn profile.
After providing my resume and completing a questionnaire, today the company offered me the position with a sizable salary boost.
I haven't completed an application and there were no interviews, which is highly unusual - I've never gotten a job without face to face interviews.
The company, Alimentiv, which my HR contact claims to represent is legitimate. It's a clinical research organization (CRO) that does statistical analysis for clinical trials.
However something smells off. It's almost too good to be true. No interviews, a big pay raise. I'm worried this could be a scam - could someone be attempting to acquire my personal information (social security or bank account numbers)?
