I recently had a text interview for an Art Director position with a person named Melinda Randolph from Randstat. The interview was conducted entirely through Teams chat, which felt unusual. They sent me a form with questions that I filled out, and then they offered me the job without any verbal communication. I was told that I would receive the job description and pay details in the offer letter, but I haven't spoken to anyone in person yet. This made me really nervous. I tried to reach out to Melinda on LinkedIn, but I ran out of inMails, so I couldn't message her. I asked if I could speak to someone before starting, and they mentioned I could talk to my supervisor during training. After doing some research and receiving advice from others, I realized this setup seemed suspicious and alerted Randstat about the potential scam. It’s disheartening to think about the prevalence of scams like this in the job market.
