  • Taleo.net

8/5/10

Seems to track potential employees for employers/lack of info on taleo.net and their actual purpose.

taleo.net does not seem to have critical information available about the website or the organization that runs it. All info searches lead to the official site that requires log-in and password. It seems to track potential employees and gathers information that can be utilized by employers. Became aware of taleo.net as cop.taleo.net was the ONLY website listed under Allowed Sites when I was checking my Privacy settings on the internet.

Specifically: Tools/Internet Options/Privacy/Pop-up Blocker settings.

Is there any information about what this organization actually does? It might well provide information on jobs, but it seems to have other purposes as well.

  • Climber.com

I received an e-mail from *******@climber.com CLAIMING I had filled out a profile with their company. I had not.

This company must have the LATEST in online user spy technology.

I had clicked on an advertisement about the company that was on the bottom of a job posting through job.com (somehow affiliated with yahoo and hotjobs). I did a quick scan of the ad, mostly some guy waving from a desk and how he was a career counselor and standing by. So what. Back to the job postings.

Five minutes later, I have this email in my inbox with the subject aboutyourresume and an attachment about my resume that NEVER finished downloading.

All I can figure is when I clicked on the ad, the company somehow sucked my info OR was then readily provided the info through job.com, yahoo, or hotjobs.

If you google, you'll find almost all positive responses about climber.com on the first few pages, even some videos posted on google.

This means nothing except they must spend job seekers hard-earned money to buy these positions on google. It can be done, most recently by BP.

Saw other complaints online that claimed they had no idea how climber.com had gotten their numbers, but were receiving calls from climber.com on a regular basis.

Spyware or readily selling off info by yahoo, job.com or hotjobs.
