I don't know how they got my email address but they constantly send spam and will not accept unsubscribe request. Unprofessional, avoid at all cost

If you make an enquiry regarding a position that they emailed, you will not get an answer. Unfortunately, this is not the first time either, I guess they are "too busy to respond". According to CoreTalent's values, they state: "..likeable and approachable with our clients and candidates, we will create longstanding relationships built on trust.". Not quite..
