How is this different than doordash coming to pick up food from a restaurant and delivering to me? I think it's very similar, they charge an extra fee, restaurants might not sign up for this and it's not the restaurant employees handing me the food.
- mhzsh 4y agoIn this case, neither party has really signed-up for it. To the candidate, it might not matter that much if they don't have a negative experience with the recruiter, but to the company whose job listing was straight-up plagiarized and outranked on the same job board (with a big recruiting fee on top), it's very different. With doordash, you at least agree to the fee, right?
- ratww 4y agoWell, for one either you or the restaurant wanted Doordash to do that job, and Doordash isn't misrepresenting themselves as if they were working for the restaurant (without the restaurant's knowledge). Of course, with that said, there was some service a few years ago (maybe it's Doordash?) that was generating landing pages and buying domains pretending they were the restaurant. But that's also very shady.
- opendomain 4y agoDelivery services DO misrepresent restaurants. If you search for a specific restaurant in your area, you will get lots of SEO spam that is not from the actual restaurant.
- ratww 4y ago...and that's precisely what I mentioned in the second paragraph of my message.
- RHSeeger 4y ago> Doordash isn't misrepresenting themselves as if they were working for the restaurant From what I head, the various delivery services have been setting up websites that pretend to be the actual restaurant's site, but list their own phone number. So they're committing fraud, too.
- ratww 4y agoI don’t underdeveloped why you people are ignoring my second paragraph and repeating what I said. I guess trying to cover all bases in a message doesn’t work anymore, I gotta cover all bases in a single small paragraph, since posting a gotcha takes precedence over reading the whole message.
