This was an Indian owned recruiter firm with offices in California and in India. I work for an Indian IT firm based in the states (remote since Covid but worked in the office for two years). The Indian recruiting firm were a 2ndary / sub contracted firm by the recruiting firm who had the contract with my employer to find a UX Engineer. It was fishy indeed especially saying I wasn't going to get paid for 30 days yet I forced them to pay me in two weeks for the first check to soothe my worries. Overall if they are contacting you and only asking normal questions and not ones that ring of scam they could be like the Indian firm and they are fishing for the best candidates to send to their client..the primary contractor.
