What I would do is resend it with an increased rate. That should tempt a few people to call in. Then increase the rate and resend stating that the role is urgent and that all the candidates so far have been "bollocks" - thus ensuring that those who have already called get an email implying that they are rubbish. Keep increasing the rate and slagging off all those who have already called in.

Also remember to keep us informed!

That’s the sort of mischief that I would not be able to resist. Change the from and reply address, use a proxy server, etc. Sorry, I would just have to do it.

Reply-to-all asking them for the names and contact details of managers for all contracts in the last 12 months.

Then ring them up and bag yourself a direct contract.

Although this is indeed the institution that had its backbone politically removed by liebour a few years ago to allow the sycophantic ramblings from Nick Robinson to spout his "push me-pull you" political diatribe, I believe the word you were grasping for was BCC (blind carbon copy)?
