What is the deal with online applications for jobs with companies that don't reveal their names?
Asked by Era
I'm job searching and I find adds on craigslist where I can apply online but I'm not informed to whom I'm applying. Is this safe? Could it be a way to use my personal info for something else?

Best Answer:
This could be an agency trying to round up candidates, it could be a scam. You just don't know for sure. Some companies do not divulge their name as they are trying to avoid recruiters and agencies from hounding them, and from people just showing up at their offices and calling.

it could be an online employment agency... http://wildcashflow.com

HR4ME is right. Remember that prudent people, under-18 or not, all over the world, avoid tempting and irresistible money making offers on Yahoo, Craiglist and elsewhere on the Internet. More than 99.9% of such offers are nothing more fraudulent crimes and scams against consumers who are often unpaid; pay extortionate bank charges for bounced cheques/checks; earn/endure criminal convictions/record, and earn custodial sentences. It is just a little legal disclaimer from tyneham to help protect online consumers all over the world. This tyneham alert is in compliance with Yahoo community guidelines and terms of service. It may be tested by vested financial interests in UK courts with full publishing and broadcasting news reports. This ethical honest tyneham alert may not be the best answer for planted questions, but in fact it has been voted/chosen as the “best answer” by prudent and law-abiding askers, voters.
