There is a huge difference between the exchange of information between

advertising of commerical jobs. Especially so when the commerical job is
being repeatedly posted to a list (in other words the list is being
spammed).

When this posting was sent a few weeks ago I took a gander at their web
site; "fastest growing"... um not that I could see --- unless it was meant
that one of their dozen employees had joined recently.

I'm also a little biased because my least cost interpretation of "NLP" is
that ultra-trendy neuro-linguistic programming stuff being peddled by
neophytes whose only qualification is to have read "NLP for Dummies".
