    If the agent is a certain Mr C then you won't hear back about interviews you go to either

      OK - finally managed to speak to Mr Angry recruiter. It seems that they publish emails and phone numbers and neither of them work. I even tried their main switchboard and got nowhere. He asked why I didn't leave him a voicemail - because I couldn't!!!! I am blacklisted but not interested in working for someone who attacks me for highlighting that they can't even get the most basic thing right - i.e. how is anyone meant to contact them when their phones and e-mail don't work?

          No such thing - if an agent thinks they can earn money off you, they'll not do something so daft

            Ahem I might just have asked in another forum if anyone had any knowledge of the company or any contacts, and I might just have mentioned that it was impossible to speak to anyone and tagged the named recuiter. Which did lead to him saying I was childish and unprofessional and taking the fact I had highlighted publicly it as a personal slight against him.

            He babbled about it being childish and unprofessional and that he couldn't put me forward to the client for that reason.

            It is quite funny being accused of being childish and unprofessional by a pimp who's company can't even put a working e-mail or phone number in their ads.

            I don't think I'll be getting this gig which is a shame as it's local.

            As he was keen to tell me he is the sole MSP and I mentioned the client name perhaps he's worried that they will find out their sole MSP is advertising gigs you can't actually apply for.

            {edit}
            And........we've agreed to start again.

            I have deleted all my social media posts and he's looking at my CV.

            I bet I don't get the gig still but anyhoo.

              Why do I have the feeling there is more to the story...

              I thought you couldn't get in touch with him, the you claim you know the name of the Client, and he is claiming to be the sole MSP?? (do you mean PS?) which indicates you have had some contact after all.

                And I already knew who the client was because I know the market.

                    Not quite but with a bit of luck I'll get an offer which I can turn down (of a gig not anything to do with arses).
