Why did I get a text from this number?

Beats me, but I got one too.  They want us to call them back.  Who are they?  I have no idea.

This number is a part of Careers Inc, which is a verification service for employers for hundreds of different job boards. I'm a representative of Careers and would like to clarify why you're getting a text from us on this number. We receive a large quantity of resumes for thousands of positions across the country, and our job is to verify that your contact information is correct. If the information on your resume is invalid, then we help them to correct it and update the employer on the applicant's status. We do not ask for any sensitive information such as SSN. We do not charge for our service. We will never ask you for anything beyond confirming what's already in your resume on file.

Each time they call (or depending on the rep) they give a different name for the company. This time it was Career Network not Career Inc. for a job that I applied for on a bogus site Advance Your Career (another name job seekers should watch out for). They already have your cell number don't give them anymore of your personal info if you decide to call. They are not taking into account if you don't have unlimited text on your phone their text to you will cost so in essence their service is not "free". I still can't understand why we are to believe their claim that a company who need to fill positions would make a call to them (a middle man) to verify that a job seekers info is correct before and instead of just calling the job seeker themselves (as if job seekers are going on line and providing fake contact information).
