Avoid Razorhire


I know when you're trying to leave no stone unturned in a job search it's tempting to rely on resume-blasting services.  And sometimes they work.  But Razorhire is one you may want to avoid.

I am not sure how it came to my attention but I signed up for a subscription.  The "basic" subscription didn't seem too robust so I opted to upgrade to the higher-priced subscription after awhile so I could actually see *where* my resume was being sent.

I have used other services in the past and typically know that my resume was distributed because I would get acknowledgements.  This one?  I got one acknowledgement from a recruiter, and that's it.

After the upgrade I could see where the resume was sent. I looked at my own company and saw that the name of the person they were sending to had left the company three years ago!

So I can only imagine what the rest of the list is like.

Of course it was a pain in the butt to cancel and they won't refund my most recent charge because they claim they've performed the service.

Anyway - as with everything caveat emptor.  This service might work for some folks in certain industries or looking for certain jobs, but if you opt to use a resume blasting service be more wise in selecting it than I was.
