Reply to: Agents not revealing the name of the client

The operative word is 'Defining'. I would take that to mean the first that uses the method used by all other since. The prize goes to :
Matthew K. Gray produces the first known web robot, the Perl-based World Wide Web Wanderer, and uses it to generate an index of the web called the Wandex.[5][6][7] However, the World Wide Web Wanderer is intended only to measure the size of the web rather than to facilitate search.

Blame Google for the rise and rise of the dominant Marketing dept. Based on Google analytics.

I did some work for AOL back in mid 2000's .... I'll give some of my old mates a call and see if they're still hiring. I might be able to get you a nice CD of their software too, if you're lucky

It definitely AtW looking for someone to run his CUK acct so he doesn't get banned so frequently.

I'm aware of DuckDuckGo but it's a bit of a stretch to call it an 'international tech business famous for its defining search engine.'

I'm not aware they make any other products either. It is surely Google.

DuckDuckGo only has a few dozen employees and nearly all in the USA.

The role was for an office temp paying £14-17 an hour if anyone is interested...

Maybe it is duckduckgo.com, a search engine whose selling point is providing their users with anonymity. And they are being so to you.

We can argue whether it's pointless for an agent not to reveal the name of the client until after having had a first discussion/seen your CV etc.

But I wonder what this agent was thinking of - who could the client possibly be?!?
