Of course, being an agent he never makes any unwanted phone calls of his own, and only responds to clients who politely email their requirements.

Last week he placed an add for a developer - he got the usual hoard of CV's followed by numerous calls from people even though he specified on the role ONLY EMAIL.
Two in particular kept on phoning him every 30 mins on the day the role got released asking how many people have applied and whether he is still the strongest candidate yada yada yada. He then went on to describe other instances of candidates that just surprised me! Some contractors just have no self respect or morals!
Any of the agents here got any stories on contractors and there stupid behaviour?

About 850 agency workers are to lose their jobs at Jaguar Land Rover in the West Midlands and Warwickshire.
The IT and engineering staff at plants in Castle Bromwich, Solihull, Whitley, and Gaydon have been told their jobs will go by the end of the year.
Well there's 850 people it ain't getting better for.
