Indeed. A friend of mine wanted to contact as many people in the Royal Mail as possible. I took the top 50 firstnames and top 50 surnames and put them into the standard format. I think about 500 emails got through and there was about 200 responses.
A while ago JP Morgan sacked their cyber security team to save money. It was left to the coders. In August they announced that 80 million names, addresses and credit card numbers had been stolen and probably on a Russian server....Leave a comment:

Cyber security
Cyber security:
We are focussing on this section of the IT department. As ever getting put through to the head of IT security meets with the usual gatekeeper resistance:
"who are you ?"
His dad
Has he heard of you?
I would hope so
"I am sorry but you are a recruitment agent so I need to put you through to a voicemail"
Please do
By the way may I have his email address?
"Sorry we don't give up such information. It is company policy not to help scum bag recruitment agents do their work"
So I go through to the voicemail and leave my usual message "hi my name is SAS guru from walter mitty enterpiises and I would just like to say that all in house recruitment people are useless c"""s". The thing about these internal recruitment people is that they are stupid enough to think that we agents are so stupid that we will accept this.
So I did what every "thick" recruitment consultant does and googled "*@endclient.com" to see how their emails are structured and low and hold it threw up "head.securitysystems@endclient.com" It was listed here:
Paste // Slexy 2.0
So I now have email addresses of several hundred/thousand security departments and individuals (Nigeria gets a lot of mentions) thus saving me huge amounts of time connecting with the market place
I can also use it for "Dodgy's Plan B" marketing of our Viagra products.
The irony is that the Cyber security people are so much easier to find than anyone else
