My experience with just ignoring their email was > that I was contacted again. My experience with with Google recruiters is that they contact me again no matter if I ignore them: When I let them run their sales pitch on me, I make it clear that I want to work from home - both initially where they generally don't pay attention to it and at the end, where they either give up or kindly report back later that they cannot satisfy it. I then insist that they note down my preference of working from home, they promise to do it, but nevertheless I have been contacted numerous times from "Google". Some have explained that they work on _behalf_ of Google but don't have any notes from others contacting me in the past because really is different agencies. > I am toying with the idea of contacting companies with aggressive > recruiting policies like Google asking them to please leave us in > peace, and offering instead to maintain a wiki page of recruiting > contacts for companies that like the taste of DD blood.

No doubt they'll be happy to get such free promotion on our wiki, but I doubt their agencies will stop harassing us in return. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
