View Jobs Predatory, misleading and unethical – targeting unemployed job seekers
Review:
I was contacted by ViewJobs.com.au regarding a job I had applied for a role that was not advertised on their platform. They named the exact company I had applied to, which immediately raised concerns about how my personal data had been obtained.
The first person to contact me was Joseph Duffy 0468 085 840, who framed the call as genuine recruitment support and asked how my job application had gone. I was then encouraged to send through my resume so they could “see where they could help”. No feedback or assistance was ever provided.
The following day I was contacted by Jesse Sahely 0468085840, and it became clear this was not recruitment support at all.
I was given a high-pressure sales pitch to enroll in a $40,000 MBA, funded via HECS, with claims that upon completion I would “land a $140k job”. This was paired with classic pressure tactics:
• Being told the course was starting within a week
• Being pushed to enroll the next day
• Leveraging the fact that I am currently unemployed and actively job seeking
Jesse also attempted to add credibility by stating that the university involved had “four Prime Ministers” as past students and that I was “lucky” to be able to complete the course online, implying this was a rare or special opportunity. In reality, online university study has been widely available for many years through open and distance education pathways.
When I later made it very clear that I was not interested in an MBA and simply wanted help returning to the workforce immediately, I was told that they could not help me unless I enrolled in the course, and that they “just needed me to complete some forms for banking details”.
This made it clear that any so-called assistance was conditional on enrolment and financial commitment, not on helping me find work.
No legitimate recruiter or education provider can guarantee salary or job outcomes. Promising this to unemployed job seekers, while applying pressure to take on significant HECS debt, is deeply unethical.
This experience was not about helping me find employment. It was a sales funnel disguised as recruitment, using access to private job application data to manufacture trust, urgency, and pressure.
I strongly caution other job seekers particularly those who are unemployed or under financial stress to be extremely careful.
People deserve transparency.
This was not it and frankly its disgusting.
