Sneaky agents

[spoons]

Had a call the other day...

AGENT : "Hi it's Ahmed from Hays, (obviously wasn't) Are you interviewing at the moment?"

ME : "No."

He hung up.

FFS!

I think the same chap called me, I tend to ignore Hays most of the time anyway

I've had good experiences with Hays recently. I've made a good contact with a guy that got me an interview for a perm role and I got all the way down to the last 2 back in Feb.

These lot sound like total fakes...

Back in March I had 2 'withheld' calls supposedly from people at Hays, which turned out to be untrue.. promised job spec to be sent etc, conversation revolved around 'current situation'. Beware.

I worked with Hays on my last role, so was not supprised on having a call yesterday reagarding a role - no fishing just are you free? but email not received.

Today I had a call from Luke, again no fishing but promissed the job spec etc. So far nothing.....

What is going on?

Yep - had it happen to me twice a while ago. Both calls supposedly from Hays - promised job specs - nothing received.

Just trying to bump their phone times...

Tim from Hays called late last night at 19:30 supposedly from home and said he would send a job spec through today..indeed nothing has arrived yet but it is a real role because I've checked on the client co website and they have this role advertised on their own recruitment pages..Hays are overall just be a bit shyte.

This role is also shyte though so not worries.

Maybe its a new Google "robotic voice" project in testing, pretending to be agents. And we are the guineapigs?
