People have a look at the top 200 "employers" on UJM:

Look at their jobs, same jobs listed multiple times round the country.
Click on a few, no contact details, and then apply, many of which take you to similiar dodgy websites without any contact details like Search Job Vacancies.

That's most of the employers I checked in short period.


Here are some I picked out:

............................................

It doesn't look good ! :eek:

That is 33,570 jobs in 12 employers out of top 200 only !

Still another 182 employers out of top 200 to check.

I've updated this post to include websites you go to when you apply via UJM.

When I was last signing on UJ was also full of Cobra Group (or Cobra Group style) spam.

Well I spoke too soon. Bodhi Money is advertising for sales and promotion staff. Along with the rest of the rubbish on there.

Sterling work mro< thanks.

So, as best as I can figure this out...

The "handler" pays £99 to an intermediary like "CV Library" and becomes an "Afilliate"

This allows the "handler" to upload job vacancies, which may be real or FAKE to CV Library, CV library then upload the "vacancies" onto UJM.

If I understand this right, every time a "victim" clicks through UJM to CV library and applies for this "job" the "handler" is paid a sum of money!

Is this correct?

If it is , then no wonder there are hundreds of thousands of fake jobs on UJM.

What a nice little money earner.

CV Library is a genuine job board, don't know how people may make money as in the OP & channel 4 report.


My links are for hundreds of same jobs bulk listed on UJM all round the country, when you click on Apply button you go direct to their basic websites, which have no contact details, to complete a form to enter your details.

I assume they are collecting data for marketing purposes & to sell on.

Put a fake name and say Hotmail email on one of these forms and ask them for a contact phone number/email address or you are going to report the job advert and see if you get a reply

Hmmm?

I have a horrible feeling that the money that Channel 4 is reporting (£1 per CV) is coming in some mysterious way, from the taxpayer, And I repeat it's no more than a feeling at this point.

We could do with someone from the recruitment industry who understands how UJM / CV library / "afilliates" merry-go-round funding works.

Apologies, I think I may have misunderstood a post on here which I thought implied mro was representing a company (in case anyone saw it). Unpicking now!
