I don't appreciate getting a call from an "interviewing" company, since I'm unemployed, I thought it was a REAL interviewer.......how tacky to scam people in need of a job.........why not use the word "survey", because ultimately that's what this company is.  Besides  other choice words I could think of to call them!

      Oh I wish.  Looked into Nomorobo.com (on the advice of a friend who is much more tech savvy than me) but their system won't work on POTS lines -- only cellular and VOIP landlines.  And I *can't* go that route: if the power goes out the ONLY phone in the house that works is the old rotary phone in the basement, which is hard-wired in to the copper lines (which were originally paid for with tax dollars, only the phone companies don't want to maintain them any more).

    I also received numerous calls yesterday and today from B R Interviewing.  Instead of posting a complaint on webpages such as these, I've filed a complaint with the FCC and recommend that you do as well.  Here's a link to the form on the FCC site.  It takes just a minute to fill in the information.

    I'm also including the link from the FCC regarding what they're doing about these unwanted calls. https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/stop-unwanted-robocalls-and-texts

    Two calls from this company -- on a SUNDAY.  Can't be legit.  I don't care whether the surveys are "partisan" or not (although I suspect they are).  Federal DNC list means JUST THAT!  And so they're breaking the law EVERY time they call me.  And if the number has been spoofed, why don't they DO something about it -- like call the FBI and say "HELP!  Our number has been spoofed!"  Only they don't....  Which leads me to suspect that they ARE the spammers....  I don't care whether "Tom" used to work for them or not.  Clearly he couldn't get a "real" job cleaning toilets or digging ditches....  No sympathy for him AT ALL....   I've had four DIFFERENT spam phone calls already today (the first one being before 10 AM).  And the fact that this one called twice on Sunday and has six PAGES of complaints about them says a lot.  Much more than the claims "Tom" made.... :-(

    I just received 2 calls from BR..They  apparently believe they don't need to abide by the do not call list..They as well refuse to disclose their sponsors, or to whom the information they gather goes to.You would have to pretty desperate working on behalf of such a scam company as BR to interrupt the populace at large for info no one    has a clue where it's going or how It's being used

    These dirtbags call pretty much every day. Sometimes 5 or 6 times. I usually let the answering machine pick up and then of course, they hang up. I was expecting someone else and grabbed the phone right awaty and it was them. I said Hello and they said Goodbye and hung up. Very professional. Not. They're dirtbags.

    Fed up
    I just ignored phone call from BR interviewing.  Shortly before 8:30 p.m.  Unacceptable, btw: I will never answer a call from them. I have better things to do than answer nosy questions from strangers.

    A company I've never heard of calls me repeatedly from a number (supposedly) in New Jersey, where I do not live.

    Can you spell S-C-A-M?

    very annoyed
    I've been getting more then 3 calls from this company a day. That is harassment! It starts at 9am and goes until 9pm. I've received as many as 7 calls a day from this company, time to report this company in.

    Annoyed
    BR Interviewing has called me 3 times in 2 days. I finally answered. Midway through politely asking the guy to remove me from their call list, he hangs up. Jerk...you called me! Get a real job that doesn’t entail repeatedly calling people at night and annoying the heck out of them.

    Just called a bit ago.  It's almost 5:00 pm here.  We should be either at work or on our way home.  But we're retired and we're here.  Still didn't answer.  Never answer scam calls.  Don't care what they call themselves.

    Just so everyone knows, the federal Do Not Call list does NOT apply to research calls. The best way to stop getting calls from an interview company is to either: 1. block the number through your phone or phone company 2. ask the interviewer to put you on the company Do Not Call list.
    The reason for the brief moment of silence is sometimes a computer automatically routes the calls and it takes a second or two to connect to an agent.
    Chances are, if you are patient and wait a moment there will be someone on the line. If not, just hang up.
    Yes, these calls can be annoying, but these interviewers are REAL PEOPLE. Please keep that in mind. The job is not the best, but at least they are trying to earn a wage and have put in the work to get a job. Many people do not have the chance to do so, or just choose not to. These interviewers are trying to earn a paycheck to pay for someplace to live, for food, education, or to take care of their families. If you are not interested in surveys, or receiving calls, that is fine and understandable. Just treat interviewers as you would want to be treated, be polite, and give the company a little bit of time to make sure your number is completely removed from their lists.

    Text from BR Interviewing
    I got a text them with the option to take a survey via a link or get a call in 3 days. It also slowed me to opt out which is what I chose. When I did that, the response came back from BEACON RESEARCH LLC which is what the BR apparently stands for. I looked up both companies and they are a legit survey company. I don’t why they wouldn’t use Beacon Research as their name as it’s more direct and may get a better response.

    No idea why people are so bitter on here though. It’s a legit job and I did something similar back in college. The auto dialers are what causes the “dead air” a lot as it doesn’t connect to the company as quickly as it should. When you call thousands of people/day you can’t do it manually. I’m waiting to see if they honor the opt out before passing judgement.
