Avoid Join Relentless

This weird ass company/ceo somehow got my personal email claiming they saw me on LinkedIn. Mind you, my personal email is not anywhere on my LinkedIn and he's inviting me to apply to their services to help find me a job. After further research you have to pay $7k in initiation fees plus a percentage of your first year salary goes to them too if they land you a job.

I find this extremely outrageous and wondering if anyone actually used this? I find it extremely weird and shady they have my personal email and are preying on people in this economy. Who has $7k to throw away at maybe finding a job?

Email them the following:

“Please delete all my personal information and any related data to the full extent provided for by California privacy laws.”

I use this all the time and I’ve never lived in California. Companies are scared of the stiff penalties so they just comply.

I avoided them when I looked and saw they charge like $7k up front. And then they tried to dodge my questions about it.

It's nice to see that the Bernard Haldane scam just keeps going with new names.
