yes, this was about 15 yrs ago. but that's how i got the gig. i too have heard that is standard practice.
it makes sense too - those companies get thousands of resume submissions from randoes b/c their addresses are posted all over the place - on the back of every DVD, book, CD, record, et al. sorting through all of that mess is quite a task. they tend to hire a 3rd party to handle that part of the screening.
