Dear colleagues, Today I saw a rather interesting job posting here on proz.com. The subject fields match my specialization.

I am no wondering if this really is this company posting here on proz.com or not, because they should know their own web dress right? I would really like to work with this company however I don’t much feel like wasting my time on contacting a “fake” company. What would you do?

I have moved the thread to ProZ.com jobs forum as it would be the right place for it. In such cases the best thing to do is clicking the [Report this job to site staff] link at the bottom of the job and asking the site staff to check.

Hi Alexandra, it happened to me too once and I contacted the company via their profile on the portal they posted the job on stating that their email address was not valid.

You can contact them via their Proz.com profile or their email, given on their website, if they have one. And of course I also agree with Natalie. ▲ Collapse | | | Report to the staff | Jul 20, 2011 |
I'd simply report it to Proz.com staff for them to examine whether this is a legitimate job. There is no plausible reason why a company would not use their actual domain name and website when posting a job, so my first impression is that the job is a fake one. | |

Hi all, Thank you for your replays. Actually it seems that Natalie was right about this. I have contacted the company by e-mail and in their reply I also found the “real” webpage | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » site for agency doesnt correspond with the "actual site" Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
