Is this the process ?

[The Agents View]

FTFY.

You know how many possible hiring managers there are for most roles??

I can understand needing to know where not to put you - but giving hiring manager details is just going to cause you competition.... why would you?

Pack it in with the lies and disinformation TAV.

Plenty of us also are also familiar with telephone cold-calling techniques: from knowing Fred Blogg's job aspirations you can identify the relevant hiring manager by calling reception or by LinkedIn once you know the company name.

You then provide the competition.

Putting myself into a contractors shoes, I'd probably tell them the companies who I had been interviewed by, but certainly not the hiring manager etc.

Rubbish, if you were a contractor you would know the value of protecting your contacts from predatory agents.

As I've said in other threads I gain value from the contractor-agent relationship. There is a tiny subset of agents that I trust and I will feed a lead to, but some agent that's just pulled my details from a database won't get any client info from me.
