When you have a profile on CB, even when you receive no applicable leads because there is little demand for one's skills, you tend to receive a blizzard of
spam.
When I've placed resumes on CB, I was contacted several times by "Primerica" (financial MLM) "fronts". They leave messages or tell you that they represent "a company that is staffing management positions in your city." They NEVER want to tell you on the phone WTF it is that they represent; the last time I got their call I humiliated the person who called me by telling them exactly what I thought of MLM and of their tactics.
Plus, lots of BS contacts from scab labor offshore type agencies apparently looking to dangle a promise of a job in front of stupid white guys like me in exchange for rate information.
I can't fault a job board for reflecting the market demand. What I can fault them for is being a locus of deceptive activity.
