In our Recruiters from Hell series we will be publishing stories of candidates who have been victimised by these inarticulate creatures. Send your story to financechange@gmail.com
Read Toby Jocks' story below.
Toby Jocks, a newly qualified accountant tells us: “ I was called during my father’s funeral and was pitched a job at BarCap as a Fixed Income Product Controller. When I told the recruiter-who claimed to be a specialist but thought fixed income meant fraudulent activity in cricket matches sponsored by banks- it was not a convenient time, he just kept rattling his script read spiel. When I told him my father killed himself because a recruiter sold him a lie, he didn’t say sorry. He just asked if I had any colleagues or other family members who might be interested. They’ll never change”

I recently was sent on an interview to a company by a recruitment agency. I've sent updated resumes to them when I start to look for work again. The agency sent my resume to the company. I get to the interview and the employers pull out a 2 year old resume. I was so happy I brought updated versions of my resume. This has happened to me twice by two different agencies. What's the point of asking for my a recent copy of my resume if you're not going to use it.
