Preying On The Job Seeker 17
You’re desperate for work. A recruiter from a big staffing agency calls with an attractive job offer.
But first you have to SIGN A CONTRACT that lets the recruiter’s company share any info they have on you, with whomever they please, while giving up your right to sue them if whatever that is comes back and hurts you.
The recruiter emailed me this:
Authorization & Release: As a registered candidate of
Big Staffing Company Inc., I may elect to participate in certain programs, including, but not limited to, training, assessment, and certification programs and courses ("Programs"). As a condition of my participation in the Programs, I authorizeBig Staffing Company Inc.to release certain data, including, but not limited to, exam scores, testing data, and personal data related to my participation in the Programs ("Data"). I hereby releaseBig Staffing Company Inc., its divisions, and their respective employees, agents, and affiliates from any and all liability relating to my participation in the Programs andBig Staffing Company Inc.’srelease of Data.
Big Staffing Company Inc.and I mutually agree to resolve by individual arbitration, and only by individual arbitration, all claims, whether or not arising out of my employment (or its termination), that the Company may have against me or that I may have against the CompanyAll required fields and tags must be completed before you can finish the process.
I figure this is more for things like LABOR LAWS, but still - it could bite you in the ass real bad - eg: testing positive for pot, or failing some techie test - and stay with you forever.
The part about their agents and affiliates is so vague it could be anybody.
Perhaps a crook standing on the corner down the street.
Or your x-wife.
Would you sign?
