[Phpwm] PHP roles at Neteffekt

[Dave Holmes]

Firstly I have posted this to the PHPWM group as well as I would be
interested if the other members are experiencing the same hassle - the
list is a professional / social  network for like minded professionals
not a tool for recruitment agencies that said relevant job postings are
welcome and valuable to a proportion of the list......  HOWEVER


Karl,

Why have you bothered responding  this - which part of "i don't want to
wast your time or my time" is ambiguous. And I thought the phrase "we do
not under any circumstances use recruitment agencies" was precise and
straight to the point.

I don't mind the fact that you used the PHPWM list to identify potential
companies to place your clients and I certainly don't mind you
contacting us about it - I do however object to pushy salesmen who will
not take a polite no for an answer.

You have contacted our reception by phone for our representative to
politely said no thank you having confirmed directly with me first.
Following this you emailed me direct, again I don't mind the persistence
as it only takes a moment to respond to the enquiry.

You then try and engage me in a conversation about recruitment processes
and how to go about it but I think we are smart enough to think of plan
b,c,d,e... if plan a fails. Then to top all of this off I get an
automated data audit email from your oracle system to tell me I'm on
your systems and these are your data protections rules and regulations -
/great so I'm now going to get harassed by all the other agents at
computer futures. /

1. Please try to understand - as I can not make it any plainer than my
original response

Karl,

Thanks but placing a call would be a waste of both your time and my
time, we do not under any circumstances use recruitment agencies.

Dave

2. Remove any reference to me or my company from your recruitment database
