After posting my CV online and specifically saying where i want to work I am 4 hours through the working day and getting to the point where i am about to hurl my mobile phone through the window!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad: I fail to understand which bit of my Job Ad they cannot read!!! The amount of times I have said on the phone that I am looking for a specific area is boggling! I dont want a role in Glasgow, I dont want a role in London.. i dont want a role in Timbuk****too! Read my ad and you will see where I want to work! Because of the amount of pointless *spam* calls I am getting from them, I am just letting them build up in my voicemail and will probably end up deleting 99% of calls as they do not meet my location criteria! But will me telling them what Location stop them from posting ones that are not at the location I want?? Nope!! GRRR!

Of course they ignore that: they know that if they can offer you the right contract the location may become unimportant.

And if one came along and offered you a job at 110K salary, with a 60% bonus scheme and generous relocation package, you wouldn't want to know about it? I was approached by an agency offering me exactly that based on recommendations from a bank desperate for people with solid WPF experience.
I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

Many of them (I suppose) are headhunters. They're paid for filling the positions. So, indeed, it's just like spam: answer a thousand ads. If you get a hit, then you make your thousands in commission. If you delete it - no skin off their nose.

They don't care about you or the position just the quick buck they will make placing you. In fact they make more money if you don't work out and they have to replace you again. My personal favorite is being sent job requirements that require excellent English language communication skills and then getting a call from someone who, well, doesn't.
