Default Name & shame: Evolution Recruitment

So, get the below un-solicited email from one of the monkeys at Evolution.

Quite stunned as no one outside my business remit has my contact details on this gig - not even friends.

So, call the monkey politely asking for him to remove my details from his mailing list to which he replies what are your details.

Try checking your Sent Items you thick f**k!

Feel free to give Dan the monkey a call with any feedback on his fishing tactics!

Hi Clippy

A Software House based nr London are about to make 26 good IT professionals redundant. They have contacted Evolution through our "Redundant People" initiative to help their employees find another position

They had two development teams which they have had to let go: The Microsoft team - C#, ASP.NET, VB.NET, SQL Server etc and the Open Systems team: Java, J2EE, C++ etc.

Unfortunately they had to let the Technical Support team go as well who had a mixture of experience in Windows 2003/XP/MS Exchange and Cisco.

I would much appreciate it if you could let me know if you have any suitable opportunities for them, either now or in the future.

I look forward to your feedback.

Not tempted to string him along by having a "need for 15 permies in the £30-50k salary bracket"?
