I had a recruiter contact me today, calling me Andrew in the process. Believe it or not my name isn't Andrew, and the email address they sent it to was me@MYFULLNAME.com, so they should be able to get my name right.

I responded to them pointing that out and advising they never contact me again. (In a somewhat sassy way).

In a well crafted apology I was informed that they had a great track record and that mistakes happen. Here's the email's subject line:

RE: Hi.. opportunity in New Haven, CT (Downtown- next to train station)- RUDE DO NOT CONTACT EVER AGAIN

I responded more kindly that I appreciated the apology but the subject line confirmed my position of "not interested."

This was followed up by them trying to "recall" the email, and resend it... Like I didn't notice the insult in the subject line of your apology...

Nicely done, nicely done.

    Fucking A... Similar has happened to me - but at least "Adam" is similar to "Andrew" that I usually let it slide.

    But your name is "Michael".....

    @thatadamedwards well, it's Michael now... But does it matter how wrong it is when the correct answer IS THE EMAIL ADDRESS.

    Personally I'd like to see blacklisting programs made to filter out some of these recruiters. Made the mistake of posting my resume on monster and they won't stop.

    @insanealec well I could imagine something like rate my professor for recruiters as being a viable solution... I don't think it would count as slander per see did you're just rating/reviewing your experience.

    @StefanH true, it's not an endeavor I look to pursue, but I don't see it that different then other review platforms. I think the real problem that would arise though is that people would only leave reviews when they have negative experiences, and wouldn't be inclined to share positive experiences which would skew the rating.
