Recruiters Spamming

Dear Recruitment Agency
Yes I post to mailing lists.
No, that does not give you permission to email me as if pulling my email address from there was “acceptable”.
Thanks
Michele

  1. Was it Kelly Recruitment? I had to involve the Data Protection Commissioner in my situation…
    Eventually…from Sept 2005…
    I was recently made aware of an e-mail that was sent to a number of
    candidates showing others’ contact e-mails. I completely agree with your
    feelings about this and want to assure you that this is not our mode of
    operation. Confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of our
    business. I want to apologise for this mailing which should have been done as a blind mailing (only recipient e-mail visible). This was done in error and has been taken very seriously.
    In the meantime, we have removed your information from our file as you
    requested.
    Once again, please accept my sincere apologies for this.

  2. If I don’t get satisfaction from the recruiting agency in question I will quite happily “name and shame”. I haven’t had a chance to contact their main offices yet, but I fully intend to

  3. Heh
    Well I did get an apology of sorts, so I’ll leave it at that. I just wonder why they’re getting so desperate that they have to resort to these kind of measures.
