UK's IT recruitment industry have to die. After 2 years of uphill battle, here's how I managed to get off from all recruiters' spamlist & call list: - For every email coming from an agency: search via the recruiter's domain name for all older emails; scan their websites for contact details; BCC everyone on it (this will make it a subject of coffee conversation) Subject line: Cease and desist further communication Body: Dear $RECRUITMENT_COMPANY, and to all whom it might concern, Pursuant to my rights under the Data Protection Act 1998, I am requesting that you cease and desist communication with me in relation to job offers, or vacancies of any kind. You are hereby notified that if you do not comply with this request, I will immediately file a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office. Civil and criminal claims will be pursued. Sincerely, $FULLNAME * Send, and mark the original email spam. This will help spamfilters to classify emails of this kind correctly. * For phone conversations, where the phone number is visible: register for http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html (this is a good idea regardless) ,and file a complaint. * For phone conversations, where no phone number is available, your mission is to elicit a company name, and while keeping them on the phone, look it up using http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/ http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/ . If the company exist, use the above form via email, and inform them the same content verbally. * If, despite all the above, a company is repeat offender, contact me (email in profile), and we'll take them to small claims.
