Why screening by outsourcers may be over the top?
Oddly enough, it's how outsourcers often work. They just bill their client on agreed rates. Clientco takes little interest usually, unless it goes silly.- DTexas

Why people donot get feedback about outcome of their application???
If the economy comes back and clientco's start realising the job market doesn't suit them again, just you watch all these hurdles disappear one by one. People will get offered jobs without having their time wasted by HR bureaucracy.- DTexas

Why screening by outsourcers may be over the top?
This is why screenco love to see any gaps on CV, since in response they can ask you to prove a negative, hence an endless amount of things they can ask you to provide to justify your activities in those times. This is the real reason surely they want to delve into your emails, bank statements...- DTexas

You'll find that those who have tried to turn this question around on you, to make you look bad or unreasonable, always seem to be giving the benefit of the doubt to the same groups of people.- DTexas

I am suggesting that the amount of SC that takes place can vary, depending on many factors but also including the desire of screenco to stretch it out for timesheet purposes.- DTexas

Why screening by outsourcers may be over the top?
Hi everyone. Consider this scenario. On 1st of the month, agent contacts contractor with good news - clientco wants you onboard? Congratulations. However, start date is only determined once their very strict screening process has been completed. But in reality, clientco wants you to start on...- DTexas

Why people donot get feedback about outcome of their application???
We're approaching a point with feedback whereby no company will offer any at all, or they will be so bland and useless they won't be worth anything to the candidate. Just like how references have gone. Companies too afraid to tell the truth, as they see it as a 'risk' to state their opinions...- DTexas

Why people donot get feedback about outcome of their application???
I sympathise with the original poster. For every failed application I have requested feedback. My persistence means that in 75% of applications I get some. Some feedback are useless. Some are pure lies. Some can be helpful. After a while you can spot which is which. One thing you should not...- DTexas

On what basis can an agent be sacked?
It does as the individual can be identified from it. Call the ICO to discuss this if you don't believe me.- DTexas

Sure, so make the SAR to clientco or whoever they're dealing with and their lies will appear there.- DTexas

On what basis can an agent be sacked?
Yes, that's the attitude of some 'screening teams' and agents. However, when an SAR comes their way... not so keen on that way of thinking.- DTexas
