Also...Old recruitment trick.
1. Advertise a bogus job, or one you filled.
2. CV's flow in
3. Call each person. Ask them their experience, where they want to work etc.
4. Ask them where they have been for interview already. Who did they meet. What were they asked.
5. Thanks goodbye, email ever now again mass email to make them feel you are doing something bu reality they are doing nothing.
6. Call the company you just gave them where you went to be interviewed, ask specifically for the decision maker you met at your interview bypassing the gatekeeper often..'Hi I'm bloggs from Crooked Recruitment and I understand your hiring for F/O's, I have 1000 type rated, readily available F/O's on whatever your offering minus £100 that can start yesterday. Oh and we are cheaper than Parc Aviation...'
Standard trick..There are a lot more sinister and frankly illegal practices in recruitment which I wont go into, but that is the industry..
