Employment
My story is the same as all the other reports here re Chris Major and Direct Staffing. I was contacted by a recruiter named Benjamin on 6/10/19 about a remote Senior Business Analyst position. After a brief conversation he said his colleague Chris would send me details of the position. Email came right away from Chris Major (followed by a phone call) with what seemed like a reasonable position description. I mentioned that I did not have scrum master certification and "Chris" (who had an obvious non American accent) said yes, you would need at least proof that I was registered. Many perfectly valid recruiters in I.T. have accents and will use an Americanized name so I let that go. I mentioned the scrum alliance organization to which he said he was unfamiliar with them. This should have been a GIANT red flag as I now know they are the main provider of scrum materials. He offered to send me a list of Verizon preferred training vendors which arrived seconds later. Another red flag. He clearly had that email cued up and ready to go. But the organizations on the list were legitimate so I let it go. Of course the cheapest and quickest certification was through course infotech. I later learned that organization is not respected at all by most people but they did provide the training and certification, which I paid $599 for. I suspect that "Chris" is either a salesperson for course infotech or someone who gets a kickback for people registering. Tomorrow I'm supposed to have the promised interview with Al Jackson at Verizon. On Linked In Al is an African American Male. I'm expecting him to have a non American accent just the same. It is interesting that after getting me to purchase the training they are still maintaining the charade. The work as someone else mentioned was supposed to be to help Verizon put together 5G in the UK.

Direct Staffing Services
Similar to what I've seen from others when I started researching. They (Benjamin originally calls and then Chris emails the fictional job opportunity) and lead you to believe the opportunity is real...Then, there is a missing criteria for a skill/certification. When I explained that I had just finished a class for the missing skill, I was told it was not a recognized class even though the certification does not require any classes to be taken. Chris tried to tell me erroneous facts about the certification and I politely corrected him. He was going to take my info back to the employer and get back to me. Obviously he didn't but I called their bluff before they tried to extract fees from me. He was already setting the stage to direct me to a class through them.

Direct Staffing Employment Scam
i received an email with a job offer. they asked to look over a job post and check if i met the qualifications. they then asked me to sign up for a scrum master course to show that a certification was in process. I was asked to purchase the course for $999 and to submit proof. when i saw this notice posted on your site, i reached out to Info Tech and asked for a refund but they denied it even if the refund policy states i can get 90% refund as long as its before 48 hours of signing up for the course. i let them know i would be reaching out to my bank and they said they know how to win a dispute. Hi XXX I have shared your resume with the company and they are very interested in moving ahead with the interview process so we need following 3 documents to submit you for this position: 1) Updated Resume 2)Scrum Enrollment Proof 3)Right to represent form(Please see the attachment) I have also asked for recommendations for the good institutes for scrum certification which are accepted by corporate companies. These class are used by the hiring companies and they all includes your training and examination both.
