This is my experience of CV-select and S2HR

I found a job for a 'graduate lab technician' on totaljobs.com with
the subject 'graduate lab technician - start your science career,
apply now' and the job was apparently for £18,000, which now I look
back on it was pretty good. I have attached the job advert.

A few weeks later I had a so-called recruitment company ring me up and
had the same format as SRG and other recruitment companies, they said
the same phrases and in the background sounded like a busy office and
he apologised when I couldn't hear him saying sorry it is a bit loud
today. The person I spoke to was called Owen and said that he was
ringing from S2HR in regards to my application. On the job advert the
company is called 2 Corporation and at the time I was a bit confused
and should really have trusted my first instinct and looked into it
before I did anything and then got in touch with them.
He then said he would like to put me forward for the position and said
he was just looking at the notes that had been written when my CV had
been first reviewed. He said that notes had been put saying that my CV
was a bit old fashioned and needed updating and were concerned that if
they sent my CV off as it was it wouldn't get past first impressions.
I asked him what he meant and he said it was difficult to describe
over the phone and made it seem like he was looking through my CV. He
said looking through my CV and from what I'd done I'd be ideal for the
job and wanted to put me forward. He then asked me hold and said he
would go speak to his supervisor. After he took me off hold he claimed
he had spoken to his supervisor and his supervisor had said to get my
CV updated. As the deadline was friday he needed to get it done
quickly. That weekend was easter weekend and the offices were closed
on friday 7th April as it was good friday so I should have twigged on
that. He said that they had a contract with a CV consultancy agency
that could update my CV, however it would cost £99 and would include
interview coaching. My first impression was Im not paying that and
then he said that S2HR would pay £60 and I would only have to pay £39
which could be refunded once I had got an interview. My impression of
this was that I doubt I'll be able to get my money back but if £39
meant I'd get my CV sorted out, after he said it was old fashioned,
and help me get something further down the line I though OK then.
He said he would put me through the company and explained that CV
Select would send the CV to S2HR so that the company would get a head
start to find me a postion and then sent it to me so I could use in
future. He then said hold on and I was able to hear him talking to CV
select as if he was a client and said he was calling from S2HR and had
a candidate that needed a CV reformatting. The woman on the other end
said she had to check the corporate accounts (or something like that)
and then cleared it and then Owen put me through to this woman after
he had given me a number that I could ring him back on which was 0208
313 7481. The woman claimed to be called Audrey and explained to me
the same details about refunds etc and then checked my address and
asked if it was the right address and I was the right person. She then
asked if i wanted a 1 week return or 2 week return so I said 1 week
but the deadline was this friday. She said they would contact me by
email. She then took card details for payment, which she called a
deposit and she said £51 and then said £39 which was a bit confusing
about how much it was. They asked for most of my card details for
including the secruity code on the back. Now I have check my
statements for April a company called CV Select from CHISLEHURST has
taken £51, which I though they might. GET YOUR CARD CHANGED WITH NEW
SECURITY CODE IF YOU HAVE ALSO BEEN CONTACTED BY THESE COMPANIED

After the call I didn't really know what to think. I tried ringing
this Owen on thursday and got an answer message with his voice saying
that he wasn't in the office. I didnt hear anything from him after
since ringing once or twice and get a various messages saying he wasnt
available.
2 weeks later I got an email from 'CV-selector'  (cv-selector.com)
with a formatted CV which I wasnt really very impressed with it as it
wasnt that different but thought that must be what companies are
looking for, something simple, but still didn't think it was worth
£39. I still have the emails if you would like me to forward them. The
email said that I should have an invoice with the coach booking number
on, which I didnt. The email said to contact them for interview
coaching when your recruitment company has confirmed an interview
date. Of course I couldn't get in touch with Owen and gave up and just
presumed I hadn't got it and just left it a bit disappointed and
confused.

This week Ive looked into who has registered the many domains they
have and have addresses for 2corp.co.uk, cv-selector.com,
sciencero.com, s2hr.com. I don't know if people know these details but
I have them incase these websites disappear.

While searching these details I havd stumbled accross another one of
their websites www.archonet.com as one of these domains is registered
to something with an archonet email. Im not sure if this is a
different type of scam, but seems to be IT based. As I am absolutely
raging Im exposing ARCHONET.
