    I refer you to my previous answer. There is no blacklist, we'd place anyone

        is it on mobile number, email or name.
        any idea?
        Name, address and where applicable Limited Company Name.

        I had some contractors come to me through an agency and some direct. When we checked with our internal recruiters one came back as being on a black list for twice breaking contracts with agencies. Our internal recruiter was from had worked for a large recruiter and he talked about checking a blacklist which the top 5 (I have no idea who they are) held.

        Take that for what it's worth.

          Those things are illegal in the EU.

          So you don't want your recruiter bod admitting to those things in front of you. (You need to do a Rebecca Brookes)

          The construction industry was caught out a year back for operating a blacklist and sharing it amongst companies. One of the issues was that the data wasn't verified so you could right nonsense about someone out of spite and they had no come back..

          Credit reference agencies are legal because when asked they have to supply data on an individual, correct it if they make a mistake and reveal who made other comments.

            OK, try telling Rullion Manchester you will be opting 'in' when they contact you about a role. Then see if you're put forward.

            Have a successful interview with LBG then turn down their kind offer. See how long it takes before you get another interview with them.

            Officially no blacklist but almost certainly a 'decision' not to take you.
            I have turned down roles twice with lbg admitedley 5 years apart!
