I signed up for the site and began receiving job emails the next day. Most of them are pretty well targeted to my interests. When I click the jobs in my email I am taken to a variety of different job boards or company sites. Doesn't seem like McCarthy has any direct relationships with these companies, but rather promotes jobs that other sites are hosting. Besides some of the jobs not being related to my profile, the site seems simplistic and straightforward. No scam I can sniff out.

It works!

Every time I get an email alert from this company, it's always something I can count on. I haven't found the perfect job yet, but I get really cool job listings every day so I know I'll find the perfect one soon.

Legitimate recruiters don't spam you with emails about possible job fits, they talk with you directly and typically work with you on on only one or two job opportunities at a time.

Apparently McSourcer rebranded and relocated to California. Do your due diligence and look up the address in the email footer.

As others have noted, this appears to be a scam of some kind. The address, as others have noted, leads to a strip mall. Upon further inspection, the address appears to be a UPS Store, so the "Suite" the address lists appears to be nothing more than a PO Box at a UPS Store.

The site is very straightforward. You sign up and begin receiving emails right away. I haven't had to deal with emails outside my interests or fake job emails and phone calls.

This site has been really helpful. I don't have time to job search for hours each day. This site gets my info and basically finds the jobs for me.

McCarthy actually cares about the candidate. They worked with me to make sure my profile was in good shape to get good recommendations.

The recruiting company that calls itself "McCarthy Search" seems to not actually exist. A simple Google shows that people have been flagging their emails as fraudulent since the early 2010s at least. Here's what happens: You'll receive an email from an entity identifying itself as "Mike McCarthy" from McCarthy Search. The email will include a brief, generic message saying it has found new job listings relevant to you, and that you should click through to either view more details about the job(s) or "update your search criteria." (In my case, none of the jobs they highlight are in my industry or at my level of seniority, and many are not in the state where I live.) If you reply, "Mike" will not respond, but will send further listings with the same generic intro. If you look up the street address listed in the email footer (******* Jefferson Blvd., Ste. 390, Culver City, CA) in Google Street View, you'll find a single-story shopping plaza containing a bunch of standard retail shops and takeout restaurants, no storefronts indicating "McCarthy Search," and certainly no "suites." Google also turns up a number of alerts posted by other real businesses with "McCarthy" in their name, saying they are in no way affiliated with whoever is emailing people with job listings calling themselves "McCarthy Search." There is also evidently a recruiting company in the UK called McCarthy Recruiting, and McCarthy Search is not that company. It's unclear from "Mike's" emails what their end game is, and I hope you have the digital savvy to NOT click through on their links to find out. Legitimate companies that recruit experienced professionals don't operate this way; real recruiters liaise between hiring companies and job seekers, personalize their emails, include relevant details about the position in their introductions, and respond to further queries. Seeing as McCarthy Search has been flagged by other people several times over the years, and they continue sending these emails, suggests to me they are operating outside of the US and are not under the jurisdiction of the FTC -- but that's just my guess based on my experience working digital security companies.
