The worst hunter gatherer around
Meanwhile, John Rutter sends us his response to one of those completely unsuitable “Please accept my apology if this vacancy is not relevant to your career aspirations as this is the fastest way of contacting candidates” emails (we have all had them, even those of us who so far are not looking for a job).
John’s assailant works at Huntress Technology. “Your opening paragraph is a very poor way of attempting to cover up the poor filtering and job search processing that you apply,” he emails back to them, suggesting an alternative, which includes “…our pathetic knowledge of technology, coupled with our use of unintelligent software, meant that we managed to find at least one of our numerous supplied keywords on your CV… could you please find someone who might be interested in the vacancy and pass on this email to them?”
By the way, it is offering £30k for a Junior ASP.Net/C# developer in central London. We hate to do Huntress’s job for it when it is not doing it properly itself, but you know who to call.
We wonder if we can find, with your help, the most inappropriate “if this vacancy is not relevant…” fish-for-CVs email out there?
