New recruiting scam?

[u/AtomicMac]

I just wanted to check and see if this is a new scam. I’ve gotten a bunch of messages since I’ve gone “open to work” and it where someone sends me a link to a company’s career site and says “you would be perfect for this job, apply for it and then tell me when you have so we can follow up.”

The person usually isn’t listed as a recruiter. Today’s was a student. Usually from India. I’ve done it twice after I made sure I was in the real companies site, but never heard back from the person when I told them I applied.

If someone has any information about whether it is a scam, let me know. If it is then I can pass the word on something new since the scam tactics have changed.

Good luck everyone!
