It's a job advert, you apply spend 30 seconds to 5 minutes trying to reach the agent and then discard everything about it until the agent rings up to sort out an interview.Originally posted by unixman View PostI said it was unusual, not wrong. With most agencies, you can call and get through to the advertising agent, or at least leave a message. If their number isn't in the ad you can Google it and call the main switchboard. Do that with SG (as I did) and you will be firmly (but very politely) rebuffed. They won't forward your call.
Not a huge issue, but this, in combination with the apparent small size of SG, and their absence from this site, makes me a tad suspicious. You might say it was a dummy role/advertisement, but I couldn't possibly comment.

What's wrong with that - I suspect they adopting a pile them high, process it cheap policy which means they will pick the first 5 reasonably looking CVs and send those to the client - job done.Originally posted by unixman View PostWhat do you think the words "...won't take calls..." denoted ? Go stick your head in spittoon, troll.

They do it to sort out the feckless idiots that can't go to their website and find it.
Appears quite successful.

Anyone dealt with the above agency? A search here returns nothing.
Unusual in that they don't publish phone numbers in their job ads and won't take calls from applicants. Hmmmm.Tags: None
