I contacted Dustin, who was referred over to me by a former colleague, to assist me with my job search. The conversation started off pleasant as we went through a few details about my work background and what I was looking for. He requested a copy of my resume, which I sent via email and he told me that she would start working on my search and that I would hear back from him no later than the next day to go through my details in-depth and discuss what opportunities he was working on.

Starting in about 2 hours, I was called my former managers, co-workers, and clients letting me know that Dustin had been referred to them by me asking if they were hiring and shoving a candidate down their throat. I never received a follow-up phone call, and after 2 phone attempts and 2 emails, I gave up trying to contact him.

Needless to say, I would highly suggest any candidate (especially in the internet tech space) NOT work with him or this company unless they would like to have their career put in jeopardy. This is unscrupulous business practice at its worst.
