Identity theft from a resume

RecruitingNevada.com is one of the only job boards that does not sell resume database access.  Why?  For a few reasons:

• We do not feel it is our information to sell.  If the jobseeker wants an employer to have their information, they can provide it.
• We do not want to encourage unnecessary turnover.  Third party recruiter prey upon resume databases.
• We want to protect our jobseekers from identity theft.  Yes - there are scam artists on the Internet

A great blog post by Vanessa Dennis of Cheezhead.com, titled ex-con uncovers vulnerable job seekers, paints the picture.  This experiment was a simple phishing expedition using a fake job posting to get job seekers to apply for a job. 

Now, imagine if an identity thief just bought unlimited resume database access?
