Got a phone call from SilverLink 4-5 years ago on Xmas day.Originally posted by Boo View PostIs there anyone here who does anything other than hang up when an agent phones on a blatant trawling mission who clearly is from the Indian subcontinent and has the barest grasp of English ?
I'm talking Silverlink and various others, but tell me, where on Earth do they get any business from ?
Excuse the vent but they are such an absolute waste of time...

Didn't recognise the number but assumed it must be an emergency so answered the call. Fella asked if I was interested in a performance test role based in Newcastle for 75 p/d.
Firmly put that bunch in the absolute waste of time bucket!Comment

They seem to be aiming for low hanging fruit. I've had lots of calls and the rates are always far below market that it's laughable.Comment
