Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters?

Posted by kdawson on Thursday May 31, 2007 @05:21AM from the make-it-stop dept.

An anonymous reader writes "My company is under attack by the leeches and bottom-feeders of the IT recruiting world. They call into our company phone directory constantly — hundreds of calls per day — trolling for names, hawking their job candidates, and refusing to hang up or stop calling, even if we curse their mothers. Our attorney says the calls are perfectly legal: there is no 'do not call' list for US corporations, and it's not harassment. Through education, we've gotten our engineering group to stop answering the calls or hang up, but I was wondering if the Slashdot community has any ideas for more creative solutions to make this stop, either through technology, US law, trickery, etc."

remember when? by strideguy1 · 2007-05-31 06:49 · Score: 0, Redundant

it was 2002 and it was hard as hell to find jobs? And remember when the recruiters were the only ones with the relationships with clients that could actually get interviews for people, while your resume sat in some HR inbox for months being scanned for buzzwords? Take it easy on recruiters guys - hard times may come back around.
