Applied for 2 positions with these guys back end of July

They don't return emails
Anyone else ever used them

I got a contract through them once but that was over a decade ago....

Oh and they found me I didn't find them.

I believe so but they've upped their game. They've left the world of bottom feeding agents and are only looking for the best quality hires. All the dross just stay as pending or something.

Some clients will keep a requisition open for a fixed amount of time before evaluating all the CVs received during that period. This is especially true during the staffing-up phase of a new project, when the time is available to select the most qualified resources.

Also, if it makes you feel any better, I applied for a position sometime in 2011, and have yet to hear back. I suspect they may have gone with another candidate though.

You may be right
but its not professional for them not to acknowledge your email or reply to a chaser email I sent

Agents? Professional? They work for themselves and their commission. End of. If they aren't making money from you you are dead to them. 'Tis the way it's been since the dawn of time. If you've not heard from them then you've got all the feedback you need.

True that.

Similarly, I ignore most of the dross that agents send me because it's poorly targeted tat.

If the mail starts with - we are really impressed with your skillset then I find replying with - well that pays for 2 days a week does the trick! I call it the Evangelista Gambit!



They do poor searches and funnel those into a mail shot. It has no cost to them. Annoy them on the way back.

I spent a week or so on SAP sorting how we create the data now I get SAP implementation requests all the time.

I imagine there are lots of small/one man band recruiters struggling at the moment due to the lack of client demand - perm and contract.

Perm? A bit of Azure skill and recruiters want your babies!
