I've had calls from Rocsearch, and each of them have ended in requests for technical references. Abruptly ended, mindOriginally posted by Big Blue Plymouth View PostRocSearch.
Had 2 calls last week about supposedly genuine contracts (private sector). Each one concluded with a request for 2 technical references with me refusing to play ball.
Just had another call from Rocsearch & I asked right away if this was going to be another convoluted conversation which would end up with a request to give 2 technical references. Phone went dead.
Also had some calls from Nigel Frank International that culminated in asking for references

These shysters rarely have the gig in the first place. "Can I see a spec, please" usually has them running for cover.Originally posted by NORTHMAN View PostI've had calls from Rocsearch, and each of them have ended in requests for technical references. Abruptly ended, mind

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

+2 for Nigel Frank - total timewasters and borderline harassment. I've probably received a call a day for the last 2 months from these clowns. Just kids that are desperate to punt low level Microsoft consultant (AX) roles.
If you've got AX anywhere on your CV, do yourself a favour and decline any calls from the 0191 area.Comment
