Dodgy Looking Job Advert on Jobs24

I was looking for jobs in the local area on the jobs24 website, and came across one for an admin position based in a village outside of my town.

Within minutes, yes a few minutes I had response back from someone saying can you pop in for an interview this week? I e-mailed asking it where it was, and he said he'd call back later. Looking at their advert, and one for telesales is advertised for the same company, but the same advert as the admin one.

I've been googling the company online and have found nothing. Even looked at a website for that town, and no joy.

What worries me is, they have my CV which has my adress and number on it, and frightened of Identity theft. What do you recommend?

    This website?

    http://www.jobs24.co.uk/jobs

    The WHOIS entry is all present and correct for the website (registered by Archant Ltd) so I'd be surprised if identity theft was on the cards ... the company officers (who would be legally liable) would be all too easy to find.

    I know jobs24 is legit, as I was recommended via my JC adviser. It's a seperate company who advertised on there, and it was like Reed where you apply with a letter and a CV. I'm just a bit dubious is all.

    I'm not sure what you want people to tell you OP? All because a company does not have an internet presence it doesn't mean they are not legitimate.
