Many people are looking for ways to improve themselves and earn more money, and this class action brings suit on behalf of some of them, who allegedly were taken advantage of in this aspiration. The complaint claims that Prehired Recruiting, LLC, Prehired, LLC, and an individual used false advertising to sell them worthless training courses in exchange for an Income Share Agreement (ISA), then sued them for payment, even if they had never even started the courses.
The class for this action is all consumers who bought Prehired’s training program, signed its Income Share Agreement, and were sued by Prehired, from the earliest allowable time through the date of resolution of this action.
The training course is marketed, the complaint says, as allowing students to gain a “6-Figure Sales Career in 12 Weeks” and as having “a job guarantee[.]”
The complaint describes the Prehired program as “a video-based educational training and mentorship program that helps consumers learn about tech/software sales so they can earn a six-figure salary, while paying nothing to Prehired up front. In return, consumers will pay Prehired 12.5% of their salary for four years, or up to $30,000.”
But this isn’t exactly how things transpire, the complaint alleges; instead, it says, Prehired expects all persons who sign its ISA to pay $30,000, even if they never earn anything in this field, and even if they have never even started the training courses.
The complaint alleges that Prehired’s advertising gives different lengths of time required for completing the course, from 60 to 180 hours or twelve weeks, but that some complete it within a week while others take much longer. It quotes Prehired advertising as saying that students “pay nothing until you start earning” and “start paying dues only after they land a job.”
The complaint claims, “The Prehired ISA uses definitions within definitions and confusing language to hide the fact that members of the Class who sign the Agreement will pay $20,000.00-$30,000.00 just for signing the ISA, even if members of the class never start or complete the training program.”
After completing the course, the complaint alleges, students must also take part in a “career search process” that requires them to apply to twenty tech companies every week.
And, according to the complaint, Prehired has filed almost 300 lawsuits against students who signed the ISA but did not pay it $30,000. These lawsuits are questionable, the complaint alleges, for a number of reasons, one being that they are filed in Delaware state court “where the Court does not have personal jurisdiction over nearly all” of those Prehired is suing. Prehired also sues each person uniformly for $25,000, the complaint alleges, in spite of the fact that the ISAs require payment of a percentage of income.
