Cripes. Desperate times at MyCareer. So desperate, in fact, that one of the new sales approaches is to spam Seek’s clients.

Interestingly, this happens also to be one of the approaches of many in the recruiting industry; offering services to companies who have placed an ad looking for staff. At best, it’s cheeky. At worst it’s annoying and does nothing to ad value to the business making the calls. There’s no way I’d advertise with MyCareer in response to the spam I’ve received. I hope they know this.
