It takes approximately 1.18 minutes to read this article.
Recently, I saw a piece of information. NetEase Finance broke the news saying, "58 Group collects students' resumes in the name of recruitment and sells them to training institutions at high prices. These training institutions then use this information to conduct phone calls and text messages to promote students, from which 58 Group Get rebates."
Previously, in the article " 58 in the second half of the year, preparing for crazy involution? ", 58 CEO Yao Jinbo sent an internal letter, talking about "cost reduction", such as cutting off unprofitable businesses. out, optimization of personnel who are not responsible for the business, and even mentioned AI large models and so on. In general, the core of this letter is to implement the so-called "cost reduction and efficiency increase."
Judging from NetEase Finance’s revelations, one can’t help but wonder, could it be that 58’s “cost reduction and efficiency improvement” method is to resell the resumes of recent graduates? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to make a good profit?
One of the more typical operations is that they set up a large number of fake positions on the Xinhua Talent Recruitment Platform to collect a large number of resumes. This platform is mainly aimed at students and is an employment service platform jointly created by Xinhuanet and China Talent Network, a subsidiary of 58 Group.
The form in which they sell graduates' resumes is also relatively simple. One is based on the number of groups, and the other is by matching the type of portrait required by the partner institution, such as academic qualifications, age, institution, etc. These resumes are also divided into three, six or nine grades, and the corresponding selling prices are also different.
In addition, they will also set up so-called free autumn recruitment training camps in many small programs or public accounts, giving you free guidance on how to interview, and even help you easily gain access to major factories and other information.
Through these methods, they can further trap your personal information and let them do whatever they want whether they bombard you with text messages or harass you with phone calls.
When college students’ job search information and personal privacy are treated as market transactions and become a tool for mutual profit-making between platforms and institutions, have you suddenly realized that you have frequently received text messages and phone calls for various course promotions and financial product recommendations, as well as delivered It is not for no reason that my resume has fallen into the sea.
You think that the resume you submit is your first step towards job hunting, but at the same time, it becomes a big step for some organizations to obtain your private information.
After reading a lot of reviews on the Internet, without exception, many people said that it was the first time in their lives to find a job on 58, and they basically ended up being scammed. Even some employees who have worked inside 58 revealed that the internal website does contain information such as "target customer sources".
The widely circulated slogan of 58 suddenly echoed in my ears: "58 City, a magical website!"
Now I finally understand what’s so magical about it: maybe as long as it makes money, it can be as magical as it needs to be.
In fact, many people's impression of 58 is getting worse and worse. Earlier, 58 was repeatedly exposed to recruitment scams and the proliferation of false recruitment information. Even CCTV mentioned 58.com as one of the "hardest hit areas" for fake housing listings.
Based on this, it has been labeled as a "gathering place for scammers", and it seems that it is not wronged at all, but there are still many latecomers who still make mistakes here. . .
Of course, other platforms are not much better.
In 2021, the 315 Party named Zhaopin.com, Liepin.com and other platforms as having problems with the leakage of applicant resume information.
In other words, one family has stopped doing this for a long time. Bad phenomena are common and there is no lower limit to death.
This has triggered another discussion on the topic of personal privacy information.
We all know that personal privacy information is something that requires great attention, but to be honest, in the current Internet environment, it seems a bit ridiculous to say that personal privacy information is protected.
It’s not that we don’t protect ourselves, it’s that many times you don’t know how to leak it. The only thing you can do is to be more cautious. Especially in the process of submitting resumes, apply some practical tips to reduce the risk of information leakage.
How to do it specifically? Here are a few tips that I think are quite practical:
1. Choose a reputable platform : Give priority to well-known and reputable recruitment platforms to submit resumes. These platforms will pay more attention to user privacy protection.
2. Limit private information : In your resume, only provide necessary personal information, such as name, contact information, education experience, work experience, etc. Try not to provide sensitive information such as address, ID card, etc.
3. Pay attention to fake positions : Beware of positions that offer inflated but unreasonable salaries. These are most likely baits to attract resume submissions.
4. Understand the privacy policy : When using a recruitment platform, review its privacy policy to understand how they handle and protect your personal information.
5. Be cautious about job search website testing : Be careful of job search websites that claim to provide free career assessments, free training, etc. In many cases, they will conduct sales promotions after collecting your information.
6. Use a dedicated email : Create a dedicated email for job hunting to receive recruitment-related emails. This can prevent your personal email address from being leaked.
7. Update your password regularly : If you use your account during your job search, update your password regularly to increase the security of your account.
Although these methods cannot completely eliminate the risk of private information leakage, they can help you reduce the risk and protect personal privacy. If you have other suggestions, you can add them in the comment area.
In short, it is still the same sentence. It is difficult to protect personal privacy in the current Internet environment. In many cases, it is not just protection that we say. We cannot change the external environment, so we can only start by changing ourselves, starting from the ordinary. Start by being more careful when it comes to private information.
If the above is helpful to you, I suggest you click " Watching " in the lower right corner or share it with your relatives and friends, especially young people who have just entered the society and are preparing to find jobs. You must pay more attention to this aspect. Some platforms are rotten to the core. , no matter how amazing it is, don’t look at it.
