Surely this was just an example of "Natural Creativity" to get her

placements "Noticed"?

Dear All,


I've had an employment agency ring up this week posing as a rep from a

Building Society. Following a brief discussion about e-commerce and our

companies involvement in the aforementioned field she invited me and some of

my developers to attend a conference they were hosting in the region. She

took down some details and the names of staff members who may be interested.

Minutes later she comes through from the switch board again making private

phone calls to each one of the developers in turn, offering them jobs! The

Cheek! Fortunately loyal staff members were happy to divulge the info.

Resisting the initial temptation to ring her back I thought I would beg the

advice of other group members in the manor of my retaliation (if any).

Otherwise just a warning to watch out for yet another cheap recruitment

trick (apologies to any respectable agencies out there!).


Best Regards


Jenny.
