Right Fit Staffing Not a legitimate employment agency but a front for questionable online schools Orlando Florida
There is an initial comment about Right Fit Staffing that seems to have been written by an employee of this scam artist. I saw their add on Snag-a-Job and went through their application process to create a "job account" and was taken to other companies' sites including Career Network where I was asked to fill out questions related to schools and cell phone carriers. How is that directly relevant to my job search? I know businesses are trying to shore up profits by cross-selling (ex. Career Builder) but this job site seems to be in the business of primarily selling online schooling after offering way-above-average market wages for menial jobs to entice the underemployed to apply. They asked me to supply references which they called BEFORE calling me. This is NOT standard business practise. The fact that they asked my references about continuing their education was even more alarming! I also got several emails from affiliated companies who wanted me to go to their individual websites to supply additional information, like whether or not I needed credit counseling, "to best match me with an employer". I finally got a phone call from Missouri after all my references were called. I did not pick up the phone and the company did not leave a message. Again, a legitimate company would leave a voicemail. I googled the 314-735-4800 and found that tons of people were never placed in contact with a legitimate employer but were harassed to attend schools. I made the link between Right Fit Staffing and these other companies, because it is the only site that took me to other companies that asked me many questions about school. There are also many other red flags. It does not have a physical address, there is only a 800 number that never works, and it does not post any jobs on its web-site. It is sad that companies are preying on people in one of their most vulnerable life stages. It is great that there is a forum like this to expose scam artists, but is unfortunate that these companies can easily change their names and still continue their modus operandi.

Atlanta Workforce Solutions questions and comment (If they are a scam, they may be affiliated with Apple Staffing Inc.)

I was just now browsing for jobs and cam across a customer service position for $15-$18 being offered by Apple Staffing Inc. It seemed too good to be true since it required hardly any experience or education. I clicked to apply and found the same job posting was for a company called Atlanta Workforce Solutions. I found it peculiar that the job application asked me if I was interested in furthering my education. So I then looked up Atlanta Workforce Solution on rip-off report and found your report, which seems to confirm my suspicions.
My question is: do you or anyone else have further proof that these guys are completely illigitimate. It is mind-blowing that someone would completely fake a job-offer, yet I seem to be encountering a lot of shady job-postings lately
and I'm getting pretty fed up. I should not have to waste so much time investigating every decent-looking job only to find out it may be a scam. (Grrr)
Anyhow, if it is a scam; we must now add Apple Staffin, Inc. to your list.
(Well-written and researched post btw. Thank you.)
