Credibility of TEAM EXCEED

Thanks for the comments and warnings. They can't even spell correctly; in the job posting for a kitchen designer, they misspelled corian!

Wonder said: So far I have noticed that TEAM EXCEED or whoever has been listing lots of job ads in various states asking potential candinates to send their resumes to the followings:
1) 700 North Pearl St, Suite 510, Dallas, TX 75201 FAX: 214-237-9116
2) Inbound Fax (214) 237-9116
I wonder this company is trying to gather personal data. Is there anyone who got a job through this company????

The fax number never picked up, but the job posting was from the state of California job website, which led me to believe that it was legit.

Team Exceed also posted a job here in Washington at a Worksource. They are looking for mechanics, well, same phone number but no address. Is this company ever exists? Thanks.

fax don't go through never got an address where job was at.sounds fake to me.

I find it kind of strange that if you google Team Exceed they do not come up with any type of homepage for this supposed company

I believe the address you have noted on Pearl Street is maintained by CSC Credit Services. They are an affiliate of Equifax out of Atlanta Georgia. When ever you contact Equifax to correct errors on your credit report they state they do noe maintain credit records at their office and refer you to CSC on Pearl Street

Checking CSC info on the net publishes no known street adddress only PO Boxes, and the do hava a a Job search page offering varied positions all over the world.

Most of these jobs have nothing to do with their firm. Question: Why is CSC credit reporting bureau maintaining a job site for positions at firms other than theirs?
Question: Lexus-Nexus maintains a data base covering everything and everything they can find about everybody, you included. WHY?

Thank God for GOOGLE

I ALMOST SENT A RESUME IN ALSO BUT DECIDED TO GOOGLE THEM FIRST GLAD I DID! THANKS FOR THE WARNING, GOOD LOOKING OUT PEOPLE!

GOD BLESS AND GOD SPEED.

It simply has to be a scam. They have been advertising multiple job fields and positions in Sacramento for weeks. There must be some money behind their scheme because an ad for a tile setter in Sunday's paper ran 31 lines. That costs serious money!! My guess is it is a resume writing outfit (to get tons of hopefull prospects), or an employment agency supply scheme where they supply agencies with data. This tile setter position would be a "dream job" and if it sounds too good to be true.......

FYI, at 9:15am 3/25/07 I did a test call to the fax nbr and it did answer. Now I don't know whether trust it or not.....

3/25 ...2nd post// Did some follow up searching on Indeed.com and found comments written by "Wendy-Host Indeed.com" She indicated enough problems with Team Exceed to have caused them to pull all ads on Indeed.com by the poster.

That should pretty much tell the story of 700 North Pearl Suite 510. Funny that a Google search on the address finds Greater Dallas Chamber (of Commerce??) at the same building.

I am thinking about the same thing too!!!! I seriously wonder if this "TEAM EXCEED" really exist !!!! I've sent out several resume out to this company but never hear any reply or feedback!!! Can somebody tell us if this company is a scam?!!!!
Greatly appreciated!!

Yes it is. The host has posted a note on their file that says that all their jobs have been removed from the board.

If you call this number

214-237-9111

you'll get a receptionist who answers with "Foreign Labor Center."

When you ask for "Team Exceed" she knows what you're asking for and then refers you to a receptionist "Tiffany". When you ask Tiffany a few questions about Team Exceed, for example, the questions I asked were "What does you company do?" and "Could you tell me a little bit about your company?" she drops you into the voicemail of a "Paul Gibbs."

I don't have time to play phone tag with someone who probably isn't going to return my call. Maybe somebody else does. Go for it!

Go to The Rip Off Report web site...

I suspect it's a scam. I'm a professional pattern maker with an AA degree, and 3 years pattern making experience. The job discription states ....uses calipers and knife to make pattern...never heard of a caliper and knife being used for apparel patterns in my life! So they obviously don't know what they're talking about. Any real employer would know this without a doubt. They posted many openings for a patternmaker which pay double and up, what I make and require no education. sounds too good to be true...

Hi Julie,
You are super right. I am an acupuncturist and trying to look for a decent clinic to practice. Team Exceed posted a lot of openning and decent income but they never reply or able to find any contact information! So dont fall for it !!!
-Dearie-

You were all right.

Just go here (if you can download a PDF) and all will be understood about Team Exceed:

www.hirschlaw1.com/articles/ailabrcarticlestantonfinal.pdf

It is still wrong though, people are wasting, time, energy, effort, hopes, dreams, and money (fax and phone calls aren't free).

Someone should tell the powers that be that it is wrong .... any Heros out there?

TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING AND ADDING TO THIS THREAD:
We all seem to be computer literate enough to use the tools of the internet to attempt to find out about this company. That means most of us Googled, or searched for information about it. How can information be placed on the internet that a Google search would respond immediately with this thread, or other documents showing what this company is all about??? If an unsuspecting job hunter Googles the company's phone number I would like to know how the response could show them what we have all searched hard to find.
The problem is, of course, all Team Exceed needs to do is change its name and number and the game starts all over again.

Columbus (OH) Dispatch has another job advertisement from the same address (no company name). Thanks to all of you guys and Google for help. After all some one is spending money on these advertisement in newspapers and must wants return on his investment.
The advertisement became suspicious when there was no company name and web address. So keep in mind no company name, fraudulent company

Well, am glad I found you all out there in cyberspace! Has anyone tried calling the newspaper or police to investigate...they have to pay for ads. I noticed in the Colo Sp. paper they had an acupuncturist ad next to a tailor ad which made me wonder what kind of company would hire a tailor and an acupuncturist...kind of punny! needle and sew the patients together!??? :-)

I found this on another google search..makes the most sense

They post a Fax number as 484/270-1615.
That's located at Backlog Elimination Center, Employment & Training Administration, Division of Foreign Labor Certification, 1 Belmont Avenue, Suite 220,

Came across an indirect contact at that adddress: Stephen Stefanko, suite 200,
484/270-1500, Fax 484/270-1598.

I'm a recruitment rep at a newspaper and I think that Team Exceed advertises for immigration purposes only. Which means that it's only advertising to show that their client in fact did advertise for a job but couldn't find anyone else besides the illegal immigrant that currently works for them, which is why they never reply back to anyone that applies to their jobs. So, that's how these people get Visas to stay here in the US. I work with many immigration companies and the fax number is the same in TX... I think I solved the mystery!

This is so true! Smart point! "all Team Exceed needs to do is change its name and number and the game starts all over again". How are we gonna stop this ridiculous problem??

the sad part of it all is team exceed is a government funded contractor. running an ad but not working any of the resonses is a loop hole around the visa sponsorship issue. when they stop getting funded, they'll take all the resumes on their new database and become the next monster...

If someone in Dallas would go to this address we could track these people down. They have been running 3 to 5 ads a day for months in San Diego Calif. cooks, engineering, tooling, ECT.
Or get a number for the reception desk at this location.

Thanks for the heads up guys. I came real close to being a sucker.

I discovered the scam after spotting nearly 30 "respond to Dallas" ads in last Sunday's Detroit Free Press. I sent a Letter to the Editor, but I doubt they'll print it (ad revenue, you know).

It seems particularly cruel in a state that leads the nation in unemployment that companies in Dearborn (Ford?) and Midland (Dow?) can advertise for high-paying positions that essentially do not exist.

why dont you just tell us or do you work at n pearl st.

LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT TEAM EXCEED IS - ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Team Exceed is the government contractor working for the Department Of Labor under foreign labor certification program. Legal foreign workers have to go through this process to obtain permanent resident status (or Green Card). According to the immigration law DOL has to advertise these jobs for 45 days to collect resumes of all possible applicants. Since the job that is being advertised is already filled in you WILL NOT receive any replies. I would guess that the purpose of such advertising by the Team Exceed is to count the number of qualifying US workers for that particular job.

THE BOTTOM LINE - DO NOT SEND YOUR RESUMES TO THE TEAM EXCEED POSTINGS as you will not be employed by them - it is not even a "physical" company that can hire you. Save yourself time and efforts.

I thought I'd let everyone know.

Excellent work people. I appreciate your efforts to extract the truth. You saved alot of people the same headache.

Whoever is or was Team Exceed is also posting jobs as Tr2-AW. I did a Superpages.com distance search for employment / staffing agencies at or near the Pearl street address. There's no such business at Suite 510. Another agency was listed on a different floor at that address but the phone number given was not in service.

Thank you so much for all the information that you have given me, people! I was going to send my resume, but the job posting didn't even have a company name!!! So I googled the address and found all your comments! Thank you for ALL your help!

Again, thanks for all the comments! They have many post jobs here and it seemed like a good place to go through but all they had was a fax number. Like many others, I tried to find their web site so I could email my resume and found this forum. Now I can stop wasting my time on them.

214-237-9116 is a fax number listed for job seekers to submit resumes for the position of "Special Education Teachers" with the local independent school district. It appears in Sunday's city newspaper (August 12, 2007): I purchased the early edition. The pay is far greater than one would expect to receive from a schoold district: sounds too good to be true. The address is 700 North Pearl Street, Suite 400, Dallas, Texas 75201. I went to the advertised school district's web site only to discover that no Special Education Teacher positions were posted on their "Jobs" link. Other employment opprotunities were listed, but not this one. Legit? Hmmm...

There was another thread dedicated to what Team Exceed is, but I'll repeat myself here again. Team Exceed is the government contractor working for Department Of Labor. This is not a scam! They post resumes on behalf of US companies to establish presence of US workers for jobs currently occupied by legal foreign nationals. This is the first step for a foreign worker toward receiving so-called green card.

Here's how the whole process works. If US company hires a foreign skilled LEGAL worker and is willing to keep him/her on a permanent basis they first apply for a labor certificate. The Department Of Labor is responsible for supervising the process. In a nutshell, they post a resume on behalf of the company and monitor how many qualifying US workers respond. They collect all resumes for 45 days and forward them to a US company that is seeking the adjustment of status for a foreign worker. At the end of 45 days the company must interview all people who applied and see if they qualify. If any of them does qualify, then labor certificate for the employment of a foreign worker is denied and technically the company should hire a qualifying US worker. Well.... that is how it's done in the perfect world.

The bottom line, do not apply for any job that has Team Exceed in it because first, you will not get a quick respose, and even if you do get a response, the company that may invite you for an interview will not be interested in hiring you (well, simply because they have another person holding that job and have to go through this ridiculous process by law). If you don't believe me, go ahead and try and then post any success stories on this board. Do you see any, BTW? I can guarantee that the only effect that you'll get off of it is screwing up life of some legal hard working guy who came to this country to try his share of the American Dream...

MS in Dallas is correct about the fax number (214) 237-9116. It is advertised in Sunday's paper for those seeking a position as a special education teacher in the Dallas Independent School District. I suspect that since filling special education positions are incredibly difficult, they have sought the help of an employment agency/recruiting firm.

Also the special education jobs are listed on the website. When you click on the "Jobs" tab, you must also click on "Teaching Jobs" and you will see that there is indeed a listing for not only special ed. positions, but all the other hard to fill positions as well. (i.e., secondary math, science, and bilingual, etc.)

CSC is a COLLECTION AGENCY . That's their "affilication" with Equifax. Collection agencies will do anything to keep track of where people are, since people who are in debt often seek to hide their whereabouts from these bottom-dwellers.

Of course, someone who is under financial distress, probably because their company laid them off for an H1B or offshored their job, WOLD be looking for a job, trying to make the system work for themselves, like good little slaves. Such people are typically desperate to pay their creditors, and can be found online looking for what else? A JOB!!!

So collection agencies are developing a private database of people's whereabouts. What a surprise.

It's time to deep six the collection industry for good and get their owners and operators in jail, preferably for the rest of their lives.

Email your Senator and Representative and COMPLAIN.

Perhaps explains what they're doing with your resume....

DON'T ANSWER ONLINE JOB POSTINGS !!!

They're ALL scams. Always apply directly to the company. Yes Monster and Dice are convenient, but the too many of the jobs are scams , in fact, WAY too many not to not make me suspicious about THEIR participation in all this ...

The Pearl St. address is that of an office of the US Department of Labor (DOL), Division of Foreign Labor Certification. By law an employer who wishes to hire an alien on a permanent position must advertise the position to see if there are any US workers who are able,willing and qualified for the job offered to the alien. In effect, the jobs described are available, but the employer and the attorney of the employer and/or the alien, want only to hire or retain the alien. According to
DOL the position is technically open because the alien does not yet have the legal right to the position. So ask yourself this question, is there a real job opening here you might have a chance of filling?

Citizen Carrie, if the US Department of Labor really wanted US workers to apply for these jobs they would have tried to improve the system over the years. From 1980 when the regulations changed for the worse, opportunities for US workers have deiminished. DOL does not care about the US worker. The goal of the labor cert. program now is to provide employment for thousands of attorneys and immigration consultants to make money by facilitating the employment of aliens at the expense of our people and our country. Excuse me for being cynical but I have watched this process for many years, working towards improving it to the benefit of Americans, but there is no will on the part of Congress to mend the program.

Go to DTI Associates dot com, a defense contractor. See locations. Suite 400 is one of their locations. This operation is a joint venture between DTI and Exceed Corporation, a govt contractor based on the beltway in Maryland; they're contractors for Dept of Labor. Phone 214-237-9111. If you really want to talk to someone, try their phone system's dial by name. Two employees have the last name Gordon. After hours voice mail states "Foreign Labor Certification Dallas Elimination Center". Calling Lou Dobbs!!! Let's organize a demonstration, work stoppage, something!
Suite 510 probably is their mailroom.
If you really want to know, call these neighbors.
