If you received the OPs email, directly, would you require a little more information in the post other than a technology stack and a carrot on a stick? Is this now the minimum people accept for employment opportunities and recruitment messages? I'm sorry but: a) I don't want to have to email a recruitment agent and beg for more info b) email recruitment agent only to be put on yet another mailing list to get more spam This is rudeness bordering on abuse, and it's definitely not acceptable on > this email list. What was rude about it? We should expect recruitment agents to do a little work to gain our trust. There are far too many bad agents in the world who think it's acceptable to cold-call, spam, bully, edit CVs, fake candidates and many underhanded activities. Unfortunately Sophie works in for an industry which has little respect to start with. This is by no means a reflection on Sophie herself, but that of the many underhanded agents who are out there for the money only. Sophie is going to have to prove that she can be a trusted agent. Don't forget, we, as candidates, also require some respect and it was the content, or more precisely, the lack of content in the original email that I found disrespectful. As someone said earlier. It's not hard to please us. Pizza or a visit to a python dojo etc... These actions would show a greater commitment to the community than sending a stark employment opportunity. IMO it works both ways. ~ Rich
