Kylee O’Brien - Deceptive Recruiter Promised Job, Then Ghosted Internet

I was contacted by Kylee O’Brien, a recruiter from Akkodis (a subsidiary of The Adecco Group), about a full-time Dispute Resolution Specialist position with TMF Health Quality Institute (https://tmf.org/). We had a scheduled Microsoft Teams meeting on April 30, 2025. During the meeting, Kylee stated that TMF was hiring 100 remote positions with several training cohorts still open. She told me I was a strong fit, no formal interview was required, and that I would receive two follow-up emails immediately after our meeting: (1) a written summary of what we discussed, and (2) an HR intake form.

I never received either of the promised emails. I followed up twice. My first message was ignored. More than 24 hours later, I received a vague message stating the hiring process was “paused” and the cohorts had been filled. However, I soon discovered that the job is still actively posted by TMF on LinkedIn and their own website—clearly contradicting the explanation I was given.

This recruiter misrepresented the opportunity, wasted my time, and may have attempted to collect personal information under false pretenses. While I withheld sensitive data, the experience was unethical and deeply frustrating. I am sharing this review so others know to be cautious when dealing with Akkodis recruiters, especially Kylee O’Brien (LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyleeobrien).
