Reply to: How does a recruitment consultant tarnish their reputation further?

Awesome! With outsourced recruitment consultants we should be able to feed them all sorts of fake names without them raising an eyebrow...

After all if your name's Purushotham Lakshimjagadeshandaliwal then offering them Lance Uppercut / Peter Beastmaster / Fanny Cyclops / Conrad Stickleback as your line manager won't sound strange..

Don't forget the classics "Ben Dover", "Neil Down", "Ivor Biggun" and "Henrietta Dick" and I think we've had "Mike Hunt" already.

Recruiter or not, you'll fit right in here.

Jesus, outsourced recruitment agents?

"Yes I am needing 2 references, please do the needful"

I was called by an outsourced recruiter last year. I am a PM and the conversation went along the lines of....

"Hello xxxxx, I am yyyyy from zzzzzz how are you today?"

"Fine thank you"

"I am calling as I have seen your CV and I have a Sales Director role you would be suitable for, are you interested?"

"I am not in sales, I am a PM"

"Yes I found your CV and I have a Sales Director role, are you interested?"

"Send me the job spec and I'll contact you if I am"

"Ok sir, very good I will mail it to you - your email address is [email protected]?"

"Yes it is, please send the job spec to me as soon as possible and I will contact you"

"Ok sir, I will mail it to you but will call you tomorrow to see if you are interested"

"Fine, thank you, bye"

Never heard from them again!

First off, as my name here suggests, I used to work in recruitment, so feel free to coat me off accordingly.

You've missed a trick. Set up a premium rate number and get them to call that

[HairyArsedBloke]

There was a chap that sat near me on the floor of one of the banks that used to give the number he got off of a card he found in one of the phone boxes.
