I am reaching the point of starting to tear my hair out. And I don't have that much left, so I really don't want to go there.

A few months back, started getting phone calls from headhunters associated with the Robert Half recruiting firm. I had dealt with them about 10 years ago when job hunting, not that it ever went anywhere. So I was surprised to start getting these calls. Turned out, I was told, that there'd been a new effort at "data mining" the old resumes, and mine had turned up. Told the person (very politely) who found this out that I wasn't looking at present, please flag my resume as inactive, and please stop contacting me.

Phone calls did stop.

Almost immediately, I started getting the emails. Either offering me positions to consider, or asking if I knew someone who was interested in the position. Some of the positions in the local area, some as much as a 3 hour (one way) drive away. I replied to every email with a "not interested" and followed the unsubscribe instructions, if any.

And still, they come.

I never get an apology, let alone a confirmation of receipt (or even unsubscription)

Got another one this morning.

This is bad enough from the less than reputable firms, but from RHT? With their reputation? I expected better.

I hate to burn a bridge... you never know what might happen. But this is getting out of hand.
