Here's my daily spam from the same people too...
Do you ever feel like you’re working 6 months of the year for HMRC? You’re not alone! High earning contractors often pay as much as 50% of their income away in taxation whether it is PAYE, Self Assessed tax or Corporation and Dividend tax for those working through their own Limited Company. If this sounds like you, Income Management can help you retain up to 90% of your income, after tax!Comment

Either they bluffed and you fell for it, or they have access to your accounts. Or there are some scary data sharing privileges that you've given away, so might be worth checking that too!
I don't believe it's a bluff.. Think about what you're saying; 'mm, this contractor who I placed and I never hear a peep from, who invoices regularly and I get a great cut from his wages that pays for my 2 weeks in Bognor Regis, I think I'll call him up and trick him into admitting he's applied for a few roles whilst still being in the role I got him into. After that, I'll have that bacon sandwich I've been craving all morning'.Comment

They're saying you lose money on account of all the taxes you have to pay, but they will help you retain up to 90% of what's left after taxes
That implies they'll charge you 10% of your net earnings. What could possibly be dodgy about that...?Blog? What blog...?Comment

Either they don't have access to your data, or you gave them access to your data. So if what you suggest is true, did you give them access or not?Comment

Originally posted by Agent View PostI've already said above, CW Jobs gives recruiters the ability to view the number of roles that a candidate has applied for and show the job title and salary/rate of the applied jobs. It's not about having access to your data, we've got access to CW Jobs data. I can find any CV on CWJobs and can see their job application history.
"When your profile is searchable your application activity (number of applications, job titles, locations & salaries) will be visible to CWJobs.co.uk customers. CWJobs.co.uk does not verify the names of organisations you applied to."
So the OP gave their data away and is now complaining that an agent is using that information when they look for them.Comment
