رسالة التوظيف التي شعرت أنها “ليست طبيعية”
في وقت متأخر من مساء الأحد، تلقيت رسالة من موظف توظيف بخصوص فرصة عمل فيمجال
Learning & Development مجال.
احترافية.
مخصصة بشكل شخصي.
وتتضمن ملف LinkedIn.
ونعم… لقد قمت بالرد عليها.
لكن شيئًا ما لم يكن مريحًا.
ما اكتشفته بعد ذلك أثار تساؤلات كبيرة حول عمليات الاحتيال الوظيفي، وجمع السير الذاتية، والتنقيب عن المعلومات الشخصية التي تستهدف الباحثين عن عمل.
وإلى Scott Leonardis — شكرًا لك على أسلوبك اللطيف والمهني طوال التفاعل.
شاهد هذا الفيديو التشويقي أولاً… ثم انتقل إلى الصفحة لترى كيف تطورت القصة وما الذي اكتشفته:
Ang recruiter email na parang may mali
Noong Linggo ng gabi, nakatanggap ako ng recruiter email tungkol sa isang Learning & Development opportunity.
Propesyonal.
Personalized.
May LinkedIn profile pa.
At oo… sumagot ako.
Pero may kakaibang pakiramdam.
Ang mga sumunod kong natuklasan ay nagbigay ng seryosong tanong tungkol sa recruiter scams, resume harvesting, at personal information mining na tumatarget sa mga naghahanap ng trabaho.
At Scott Leonardis — salamat sa pagiging mabait at propesyonal sa buong usapan.
Panoorin muna ang teaser video na ito… pagkatapos pumunta sa page para makita kung paano nangyari ang lahat at kung ano ang natutunan ko:
The recruiter's email that almost fooled me
Late Sunday night. A LinkedIn message about a Learning & Development role.
Professional tone. Personalized details. A real-looking profile attached.
I responded.
Then something felt off — and the more I looked, the worse it got.
What I found raises serious questions about how job seekers are being targeted: resume harvesting, personal data mining, and scam infrastructure that's hard to spot even when you're paying attention.
I documented the whole thing — the red flags I missed, the ones I caught, and what it means if you're actively job searching right now.
(And Scott Leonardis — genuinely, thank you for being courteous throughout. That's what made this so disarming.)

Connection, Community & What Was Missing on Memorial Day
As of writing this post — 12:00 PM EDT — $NXDR is trading around $2.01 during a broader market downturn. As an investor, I understand the frustration many shareholders are feeling. What happened this weekend only deepened it.
The Silence Was Loud
I watched throughout the entire Memorial Day weekend.
Nothing.
No Memorial Day message on the company blog. No LinkedIn post. No X post. No BlueSky acknowledgment. Not a single public word of honor for the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in serving the United States of America.
What Came Instead
The very first public-facing messaging of May 26, 2026 — from both Nextdoor and #NiravTolia — was not reflection, gratitude, or community appreciation.
It was an AI discussion on X and promotional content about a "Creative Checklist" pushed simultaneously across X, LinkedIn, and the company blog.
That being the first message immediately following Memorial Day weekend is hard to ignore. That contrast says a great deal about priorities.
A Platform Built on Community — With Ongoing Trust Concerns
I fully understand that the First Amendment governs government conduct, and that Nextdoor operates as a private company under its own moderation policies. That distinction is important.
But many users and investors continue raising legitimate concerns about:
- Inconsistent moderation enforcement
- Vague and selectively applied policy interpretation
- Account restrictions with limited transparency
- Appeals processes that feel one-sided
- Suppression or removal of critical voices
- Limited ability to openly challenge platform decisions
For a platform whose entire value proposition is neighborhood conversation, trust and transparency are not optional features — they are the foundation.
The Bigger Question
Veterans, users, and investors may reasonably ask whether they want to remain Weekly Active Users — or continue supporting a company whose public messaging priorities appear disconnected from moments that matter deeply to the communities it claims to serve.
Community is not just a metric. It is values. It is visibility. It is showing up when it matters.
