Fake job scams come in many different varieties, though most share common characteristics that you can use to spot the scam before becoming a victim. Hi AceyAceyAcey, AutoModerator has been summoned to explain fake job scams. It would come as no surprise that certain countries have a lack of expertise in certain technology fields, and that's where Dialectica can fill that need. currently accounts for more than half of all AI spending worldwide. For example, take Greece - where my Dialectica rep is from - there could be a need for more tech-experts in the field of, say, artificial intelligence, and they need someone who understands that. It must be considered that in other parts of the world - even in Europe - there may be a lack of technology experts who are proficient in the type of technology the clients need. Dialectica is basically a broker that connects clients to consultants. This first call is basically an assessment to ensure you're a good candidate to work with their client. I too am incredulous until I get paid Up until now I completed my first call with them. If you receive an offer from them and you feel confident about the field they are requesting, go for it.Ī lot of comments here seem to reflect incredulity towards the fact that if you are being contacted, you are questioning whether your own expertise rises up to the level of having someone pay you a high amount for your business acumen. In addition, like I mentioned, they wanted a consultant for something outside my field. I couldn’t engage with them because my current employer doesn’t allow me to work as a consultant for external companies. They operate as the middle man to connect customers and consultants. The only information that they ask additionaly in the contract is the regular bank account information for payment deposits (nothing out of ordinary, it is the same info my company also asked when they hired me).Įdit: for 2 years after I made this post people have been contacting me about it, so I decided to make this edit. If it is not a scam I'm 100% taking this oportunity if my contract allows me to work as a consultat for external offices.ĭoes anyone know this company or point me to some directions in order to further check if this is a scam? I read the contract and they dont demmand any kind of payment. But still.I feel something is not seems too good to be true considering how junior I am in the industry. I did some check and the company really does exist, the person who contacted me also exists and she has linkedin premium (idk if this is relevant), they have reviews of many people that already worked for them as consultants and they sent me a link to a contract on their page (the domain also checks). Also they asked me before about systems that I never worked with and to rate them based on how much knowledge I had on them. I am currently getting my master degree and working as an intern for another big company. I'm pretty new in the industry and I see no reason why would anyone pick me.

They wanted to buy some hours from me as a consultant and their rate would be 300USD/hour.

Last week I've been contacted by an employee from a company called Dialectica.
