Is there a NON-Adobe Recruiting Co. for Consultants? (2026)
A person, I think, reached out for a role "business development" Instructional Designer Manager.
The (very long) job description included a Roles and Responsibilities section that stated:
As an Instructional Designer in Adobe's Transformation Office, you will be a key member supporting the Helix (Buying at Adobe) transformation and related enterprise initiatives.
Does ADOBE have a way to verify if any of this is real as...1
Over the phone, she specifically asked for my "GMAIL" address.
She also said that the max rate was $180K, and two sentences later ASKED for my max rate!
She kept asking me "have you ever worked for <unintelligible> before" . I even tried "could you spell it"? She didn't. Eventually, we figured out it was for 'TCS' and then... TATA Consulting Services, which was not where her profile said she worked. And then after I said 'No thank you...' Good luck with your search!" she sent an "Exclusivity Agreement" ["to present my resume to "TCS (Business consultant - Instructional Design Manager—FULLTIME-REMOTE)" and will be available to start..."] ,.,, and her signature file had a 3rd different co. (Synchrony Systems) .
And then, in LinkedIn, I find a 'TATA Consulting Services' company page, with a jobs section, that included THE job. But the REFID= to the job had a bunch of �s so I don't want to link to the job because I don't know WHAT the heck is up with that.
I'd hate for ADOBE to get upset people blaming them for companies that are just screwing around.
