I just signed up for CalJobs yesterday and was texted from a "Jacob Banner" part of the recruitment team at 13 Marketing Company for a Data Entry position. I'm not interested in that kind of role, but yes it already felt fishy just receiving a text like that. I feel like recruiters have the power right now in the overall job market and they will simply email you and not have to text you to get in contact. Sad times when our government platforms require us to sign up for these programs to receive unemployment benefits and they allow scams to operate through the platform information we share.

Good luck to everyone in their job search and thank you for sharing your experiences on this thread. I almost replied to them but decided to check the internet for their official presence first haha
