    I think quite a few of them do this. I'm ashamed to say I fell for the Computer Futures one a few years back.

      Hoaxley, Chamberlain "bunch of fecking cnuts" Scott, etc

      It's like spam emails: "it's so obvious it's fake, so why do they keeping sending the same emails over and over again"... (sigh)
      If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

        Another one today.

        Eaglecliff Recruitment.

        Have refused to put me CV forward for a job today because I refused to give them two references, so they could "contact my previous employers and verify my skillset to ensure my CV is not exaggerated/lied about".

          here's a question, i advertised a role recently a job to which I had 146 responses, everyone of these people claimed they have exactly the right skills, thankfully I have been blessed with a large brain and some excellent training so I can separate the wheat from the chaff, but . . . there are still around 15-20 candidates who realistically could do the role and all tell me they have all the right skills. My client has specified they want 3 CVs, how do I whittle them down? if references are taboo.

            Know your clients exact requirments and talk to the candidates? References are nothing more than a tool to canvass with (and everyone knows it), you take a reference when things are progressing not before because your contractors lose respect and trust for you. IMHO

              Throw 1/2 of the CV's in the bin to remove all the unlucky people.

                But make sure you pick one or two back out occasionally, so that you don't miss out on the really lucky ones.

                  Surely it's not that difficult? You are 'adding value' after all.
