Recruiters who request SSN over the phone
roc: If someone can't convincingly articulate why they need a piece of my personal information, I tell them to get bent.To me, the most suspicious part is that they couldn't give you a straight answer.I've had to deal with a handful of job searches in the last decade and I know why they -might- legitimately want it (background and credit checks).But this guy who places people -professionally- can't tell you?
