The best part is there are other job portals but the maximum spam calls from consultants are received once you register yourself with Shine.com….
Most of the companies who offer paid services are from Delhi, Gurgaon and NCR.They are upfront and say that your profile has been shortlisted by the companies both Indian and MNC’s from Shine.com : One Stop Destination To Find Your Dream Job on the Go (http://shine.com) and they have been asked to start the recruit process on their behalf.
To test to know the truth I registered myself on Shine.com : One Stop Destination To Find Your Dream Job on the Go (http://shine.com) and it was really interesting to find the number of recruiters visiting your profile was way ahead of your profile visits in other Job portals.Secondly most of the recruiters were free lancers, Then the legacy of offers followed from calls from one or the other .com companies.These young ladies as so persistent that they say that you should come online immediately and register yourself on the website and pay the requisite fees.Once the fees is paid then they would fix up an interview with Hr first round would be a telephonic interview and second round would be a face to face interview….
The trick is very simple they will enrolling you first after making the requisite payments, then they will arrange for a spam telephonic interview and finally they would say that you did not make it in the first round of telephonic interview and start avoiding your calls.
I started the conversation nicely and said that I would give a call back as I was busy but the person on the other end said that we cannot receive a call on this number as only outgoing is allowed so thats it……First they pitch their sales, make a sale, cut the line and then you are left with no place to go neither you can call them or interact with them in any manner…..

Wonderful technique of cheating innocent people who are already in the agony of searching for a job and after this they would feel devastated and then start complaining to various on line complaints boards about their experience with these fraudulent companies but alas nothing can be done against such cheaters .
