Well, I was contacted by an agent about a role for a company that they decided not to name. After some time, he asked me to email me some information based on some criteria he had. Below is what I was asked to fill in.
Some agents have no shame. I politely refused to progress with the opportunity, and declined to say why. I won't name and shame in case the agent is on this board.
