I had an interview with these guys a few months ago and received a job offer.

I asked a question, via email, somewhere along the line, and it was never answered, neither have the next 8, sent from 2 different email addresses.

Yet I see them still advertising...

Freaky.

I really don't want to phone them, as someone is going to lose face over this.

Anyone else speaking to them lately?

I don't see what would be wrong in phoning them (assuming you have or can find their phone number, and are still possibly considering working for them). FWIW, RCS didn't seem a "good" a company as Interac, but then, I didn't stay long enough with or get indebted enough to Interac for them to be able to pull anything on me (I still suspect however that they were better than RCS in some respects - not that RCS were really nasty or anything, but they did seem to be having financial difficulties at one point at least. They're certainly the smaller company of the two).

Well since I see Interac as the devil-incarnate, just even more evil, then that pretty much decides it.

Cheers

Well, they contacted me again recently, mysteriously, now they have disappeared into the depths when I asked them about a contract.
Is it so terrible!

hahaha

I have read throughout the net that they are BAD. I have sent them two emails this week and each time they replied to me promptly. I haven't sent the application or had a phone interview with them though. Maybe they don't like your nationality. I don't know, but please keep this thread alive. Gaijinpot deletes threads that talk negatively about RCS.

I find them just strange. They've offered me a job twice but as soon as I press for contracts details they withdraw from existence. Twice.

Seems they read this forum too.
I got a response within 24 hours of posting

Note the cheery robotic "I am trying to be a native English speaker" start


"Good afternoon!

Thank you for letting me know.

I believe that due to the number of circumstances that have taken place surrounding your employment and response from us, I feel that it is best not to proceed with the hiring process."


Simply put, there was no circumstances other than my posts here. I feel I have had a lucky escape and I don't know what possessed me to apply in the first place. I was mostly curious to see if they are as mindlessly idiotic as I had heard. Well the answer is yes.

What a pathetic disorganised rabble.

Another one to add to the pile of garbage.

Life is good sometimes

Just got another email from them. Quite clearly they read these forums.

I've just been accused of being racist. How utterly bizarre.
For saying someone is not a native speak of English?

And because I defended the point I am apparently making threats now.

What a very strange company indeed.

People, steer clear of these cowboys. Not only for your own sakes but for the kids these leeches depend on. I am so glad I didn't proceed further with the applicaton.

The truth is out there. But it's nowhere near them.

AMUK mentions that he was offered a job by them twice but they went silent on him when he asked for more details- they must have remembered who they did that to, along with the dates corresponding, and put two and two together.
