'Tim' from this company has harassed me for far too long now. Despite repeatedly asking him to delete my details, as per Data Protection laws, he has ignored me time and again, and keeps contacting me unsolicited. I have not looked for a job in over 3 years and the CV used to get my contact info should have been deleted the second I first requested. I have since reported this behaviour to the ICO & the GDPR and if contacted again I will be informing the police. Companies like this should be utterly ashamed at their 'scattergun approach' to recruitment and give everyone else in the recruitment business
