I saw the following at the end of a job board vacancy:

Recruitment Genius is the UK’s No. 1 online recruiter. We guarantee all jobs are genuine and that your application will be seriously considered and receive a reply.

It is a pity that agencies do not have a code of conduct, and it is an indictment of their industry that any good ones (few in number!) have to confirm they are ethical and have standards.

Hold the front page!

I was a bit quick to praise and I take it all back.

This agency has not replied or got back to me in 24 hours.  Another CV collector!

Forgive the plug but give them a bad review here at HS.com if they're not treating you fairly!

UPDATE,

The agency is not the normal agency, lying about vacancies and collecting CV's.  This is a CV finding service only.  They charge clients for sending on suitable CVs and that is the extent of their involvement in the process.

It works rather well as I had an interview out of it yesterday.  Nothing will come of it as the job is too junior for me but the system works.

I had expected a reply a bit sooner that is all.

I take your point about the Dodgy agencies and they should all be aware that I am starting a national campaign to get the ethics and standards raised.

I will start by posting reports on each and every one I deal with who don't respond, post bogus jobs and those who think Bedfordshire is in the South East!
