I was recently contacted by a headhunter about a contract-to-hire
position. I called back the phone number left and got the same guy
immediately (no receptionist or extension). The headhunter's company
has no web site, and when I did a web search for the phone number I
found it associated directly with the company name. I looked up the
company in the business directory on my state government's web site
and found it is an apparently legitimate business, registered under
this guy's name back in 1988. Since he's registered, can I trust him
to not be running an identity theft or other scam?

Why not ask him for 2 references. One a person he placed, and the second a
company he placed someone in, ideally not the same company.


That make some sense, the reverse of how I give my references out. I
guess the trick is figuring out if the references themselves can be
trusted.
