They're probably swamped in CV hell and just want to speak to someone.
Bypassing the ATS is also essential right now imho.Comment

Originally posted by LondonPM1 View PostI moved abroad a few years ago - I have zero regrets - Sometimes I think about coming back but the fact contracting is finished makes it not worth it - Educated in Oxford and london university its sad that I wont be able to work in the UK as perm again.
I would completely not pay the BBL (like many componies wont) but just be careful you can explain how you spent that money (salaries are fine) and why the company is now insolvent - If you have assets in the UK company you need to be careful to spend them properly before going insolventComment

ATS is the Devil's work. Particularly so when it's been badly implemented. One can try to make a CV ATS proof, but there's always another more incompetently deployed ATS out there.---

For the past several months this particular agency has been posting few jobs (10 today) everyday the rate are quite high for the current market.
Looks like fake jobs ads to me. Wondering if anyone had at least an interview through this agency.Comment
