I couldn't beleive it, 2 guys I used to work with over 5 years ago, Richard Bastasich and Dale Smith are scamming poor unsuspecting people again! Both Bastasich and Smith are ex- Bernard Haldane/BH Careers employees as are all the staff at RD Group International. From what I hear they even have a list of names of so called "affiliate" offices on the glass in thier lobby area. There are no affiliate offices! The names haven't been taken down since Haldane operated in the exact same premises. A few weeks ago I was amazed to get a call from Shobee, she must be new, asking me to come in and interview with thier Vice President, Steve Fischer, also an ex BH/Haldane employee!! I laughed out loud and said no thanks and did some investigating.

My resume must have been forwarded to them from an employment agency named Nick Martin Associates who asked if they could forward it to someone who worked in my particular field. They pay for thier leads!! This is how the scam works. You come in for a "preliminary" meeting, to access your market value and they try to find your "pain" or hot button to keep reminding you how you need "professional" assistance in your job search. They then "selectively"- what a joke EVERYONE gets invited back, invite you back for a "marketing meeting". Your spouse is mandatory because they want to squeeze you on the spot for a $5000 or more fee!!! They demand a decision on the spot. You can't think about it overnight because you will change your mind. So they keep pressing for a decsion, holding you hostage and reminding you of your "pain". They sell you on a host of networks that you will get access to. We used to use a "broadcast report" a thick binder with all of the other poor unsuspecting saps who spent all thier hard earned money too. The broadcast report is sent to 1000"s or employers and recruiters who they deal with. PURE B.S., NO ONE GETS THE REPORT AND NO ONE EVER GETS A JOB FROM IT. The Advisors are all ex BH/ Haldane employees too. Murray Nambhida and Wendell Lacome. A few years ago CTV a television station did an undercover broadcast at those offices and caught on film one of thier "career directors" lying to an undercover producer. It made headlines and BH/Haldane soon pulled out of Canada. RD group probably will too, with all your money!!! Beware, you get NOTHING!!! Plus they always make fun of the immigrants that come in and can't get jobs. Those poor people give up all thier money trusting that they will get help. But they dont. I quit because it made me sick. I wasnt there long, but when I think about it I'm still ill over it. I did the same thing. I hope I will be forgiven.

Rent the movie

POSTED: Monday, October 22, 2007

If you haven't seen the movie "Boiler Room" --- rent it..BEFORE going to an "interview" with these guys...it will give you a good idea what will happen when you get there. I went through the 1st and 2nd "interviews" with Bernard Haldane...and it is nothing but high pressure sales tactics to swindle 5K from unsuspecting people.
