Companies I can understand. But agents? If they can take my email address and send automated emails for other potential jobs, why can't they do the same with rejections?
In my eyes it doesn't do their already tarnished reputations any good. I read a piece in the BCS (British Computer Society) magazine, saying there should be a code of conduct for agents, one that includes letting candidates know, in a timely manor, about rejections. I tend to agree. Having said all that, I meant to tell someone yesterday that I won't be able to do some work for them because I don't have the time. Oppps!
