What happens if you reply or register with McSourcer?

If you click on the link to register at McSourcer.com, here's what you see:



At least, they are not asking for any confidential information, so the worst case scenario is you may receive more spam, if they provide your email address to other advertisers. Their privacy policy includes these statements:
"Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.
We will collect and use of personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law. "

Of course, there's no way to know whether a company is following their stated policies.

After completing the form, this is the screen we saw:



Click on the link on the page above took us to this website, https://www.6figurejobs.com. This sure looks like a misleading redirection: why register at McSourcer, if they only redirect you to another existing jobs website? Most people would expect that the link would take them to a page ON the McSourcer website; not to a separate jobs engine. We feel that is misleading.

Does McSourcer receive a commission from 6figurejobs for leads sent? If so, then this was nothing more than phishing for leads, and, in our opinion, offers no real value to the recipients!



We sent an email back to McSourcer. If we get a response, we'll post it here.

We also tried to remove ourselves from their list. here's what we saw:





We received an email back, almost immediately, saying our email address "has been removed from the 'mcsourcer-candidates' mailing list.". We'll post results, whether we receive any more emails or spam.

I had a run in w/ Patty Hubbard from Modern Medical Solutions too. She sent this email (in which I responded) and never heard anything back:

We appreciate your interest in Modern Medical Solutions and the sales opportunity of Medical Sales Rep for which you applied. I do apologize by just getting back to you but we just started working on your territory this week. We strive to provide the best possible certified medical sales reps in the industry for each medical equipment supplier's specific requirements. We are reviewing applications currently and expect to get back to everyone in the next couple of days. We do have a few short questions below you will need to fill out to be considered. If you are selected you can expect to be contacted by my Staffing Coordinating staff shortly.

Modern Medical Solutions www.modernmedicalreps.com

APPLICANT QUESTIONS (please fill out your answers the best you can to be considered):

How do you build relationships with clients in order to understand their needs and strategies?

How would you describe your personality?

What do you do personally for your professional development?

If this is you first sales rep position in the Medical Device & Equipment industry please answer the next 3 questions:

1) How much education do you have in healthcare and list all classes completed that directly related to medical devices or equipment?

2) Have you completed medical sales training or have acquired entry-level Medical sales designations such as (RMSR, MSC, HIDA, etc)?


3) What interests you mostly about becoming a Medical Device & Equipment sales rep?



If you have experience in selling Medical Devices / Equipment please answer the below questions, thank you:

Do you have medical sales rep credentials to meet client requirements (Vendormate, REPTRAX, Symed)?

Are the majority of your current client’s physicians or hospital / clinic administrators?

How familiar are you with Medicaid and Medicare guidelines, coding, reimbursements, and policies?

What type of medical equipment did you mostly sell or have experience in and what certifications do you have in the medical equipment DME business?

 

Another "recruiting firm" that doesn't seem too legit w/ a horrendous response time (if at all) is Personify (i.e. Courtney Harris). They'll give you a brief description of a position and ask for your resume. Then after shooting them your info, they will not respond to requests for a detailed job description. I doubt they even have contracts for these positions and just play candidates & companies off of each other. Also, they will continue to contact you after requesting to be removed from their database and/or mailing list.

 

F all these fake posting lazy recruiters....we should give them a taste of their own medicine. Make a blow-you-away resume, apply, wait for a call back, just to find out who its with, then laugh and turn their ass down while they beg you to go on the interview.. see how they like them apples !!!

 

Such bitterness! You tools should learn how to use recruiters to your advantage, not depend on them to get you employed. I have not seen this much whining since Hillary found out about Monica!

 

im pretty sure most of us, the real hustlers atleast, all know how to maximize working with recruiters especially if we are in this cutthroat industry already...this post is about exposing the fake and bad ones, no ones whining and no one asked for your .02 so keep it moving turd, they need you to cover a closing shift at starbux

 

Hmm, I wonder who the "bitterness" post was from. Couldn't be one of those bogus recruiters? I won't give external recruiters the time of day anymore - they're a dime a dozen!

LOL on the Starbucks comment.

 

Does Lee Weber not take the cake? All he does is shoot out email blasts (your BCC isn't fooling anyone) w/ a job description. You're looking at about a week response time from him & the only thing he'll respond to is an unsubscribe request. Some more to watch out for: Cassie McClendon Brown from RightThing, JESSICA LUEBKE from Slone Partners, & Bud Harrison-Mgmt Recruiters of Elgin

 

Think I've had a run-in w/ Mike McCarthy as well. When I do an email search I can see his email address, but deleted all his emails & contact info, so what does that tell ya?

 

Gonna have to 3rd that on McNitt & nice LI pic too-u look like a real hardazz on that touring bike! Clown accepts my LI invite & then can't respond to 2 messages I sent him on there (since been deleted).

 

HAHAHA! If you actually re read the bitterness post closely, it completely sounds like its coming from an old haggard recruiter ...especially with a political analogy like that one & probably one whos name is on this thread too!! lol you my friend are spot on

 

Recruiters one of the reasons Flamethrowers should be legal !!!!!!!!!
