Complaint Review: Caldwell & Alexander Associates

I was contacted by one of the alleged partners, Jarod Alexander, who claimed that he represented a company looking for a candidate with my credentials. He refused to provide any details about the company claiming that the client did not want them revealed. I asked for a written job description but was told that his client didn't want that revealed as well. He stated that in order for me to be presented to the client, he would need to rewrite my resume into a form that the industry now uses exclusively.

The cost was $150.00 I received a new resume and found it to be totally useless as judged by 6 outside recruiters. Jarod Alexander claimed that despite their ascertions, this was the style currently used in the industry and this is what would win the job with his client. I was told I would hear from the client within 2 weeks. After 3 weeks and no calls from alleged client, I started calling every other day.

Alexander couldn't understand why I was calling so often and came up with every excuse under the sun as to why I hadn't heard from his client, frequently contradicting himself. Request for reimbursement of the money was denied. Asked to speak with alleged partner and denied as well. Same lack of assistance from secretary. Company says on their web site that they have so many jobs they just can't list them and they don't.
