The things agents do!

[expat]

Just received 5 emails for 5 different jobs from the same agency, but different agents, all at exactly the same time.

I presume that a CV-scanning bot assigned me as a possible asset to 5 opportunities, with a different employee attached to each. But emailing them at precisely the same time is not sophisticated CRM.

wasn't dpconnect was it, they keep telling me i've applied for jobs i've never heard of..

"Thanks you for applying for the cobal/ Pascal/ BASIC contract role we have advertised in Timbucttoo paying £0.20 an hour. We shall advise you of the outcome.

Please update your iprofile."

No, it wasn't. It was an agency I've worked with before, but I think they've lost the details, since they keep offerong me perm jobs in areas I don't do (but I can't reasonably keep their keywords off my CV). All that is normal, it was just the coincidence of 5 different agents emailing me at precisely the same time ......

I spoke to an agent recently who told me they don't post the jobs they outsource it to another company who does the posting. That company are currently testing added value services.
