Ecommerce Partners - Bad Hiring Practices

I heard a story about this company that boggled my mind. It all begins with a posting on the job board at Craigstlist. The description of this posting included a salary of $100K. For those familiar with New York City salaries, you'll know that while good, such a salary is fairly common.

Interviewing with Ecommerce Partners was fairly standard according to my source. The one out of the ordinary thing they did ask was that a mini-project be completed as a skill assessment.

All signs were positive when a second interview was arranged. The topic of the discussion was to be salary. However, upon arriving for the interview the interviewer proceeded to offer just $50K. When questioned about the $100K mentioned in the posting, the interviewer admitted that the posting was a lie and that they were simply interested in attracting people to the interview. In addition, it is clear now that the mini-project was simply a way to get free work.

And so this page about Ecommerce Partners should serve as a warning to anyone interviewing with them. Hopefully this page will appear at the top of the search engine results. If you have your own story to share, feel free to send it my way.

Good luck with your job search!
