This number is for Executive Resumes and they position themselves as career counselors. They're not up front about it but if you spend a few moments talking with them or learning about their services, it turns out they are selling career counseling, resume writing, etc. They have a sales video that throws around a lot of numbers - i.e., people who work with them see a 90% increase in the number of contacts they receive from employers; their service delivers 95% of all job openings on the web, etc. It's impressive-sounding but not something that you can easily quantify. I don't necessarily think they're scammers - I think they're just using some aggressive sales tactics to try to lure desperate job hunters. A good executive recruiting service won't charge the job searcher, it will charge the companies looking for people.
