In my experience they try with an office landline and if you don't pick up they try with a mob number to try and trick you into picking up. | | | |

Recruitment consultants are like glorified sales people, they are more interest in the employer than the prospective employee and £££ and will bullshite with a smile where ever possible.
Just like estate agents, complete kunts in the main. |  | | |

I have been looking for a job in a specific sector so i've put my CV up on the main job boards.
I specifically state the role i'm looking for but 99% of the calls I get are from recruiters looking to fill sales or recruitment roles which I am not interested in. I picked up every call in the first week but I am getting over 20 a day and it gets tedious. | | | |

You're after a permanent job?
Given your target market is so small (IT in Swansea) would you consider simply approaching companies' HR departments direct? There can't be too many of them.
I work on IT contracts, and tried the job board route only to be driven to distraction by time wasting agencies ("You want to work in IT? I have a job for you as a security guard in a data centre"). In the end I removed my CV from the job boards and changed my mobile number.
These days I use a couple of agents (Square One, Whitehall, Edward Carter) who focus primarily in my niche skill area and I keep an eye on things on CWJOBS and JOBSERVE though Swansea is about as far-removed from Silicon Valley as it's possible to be so pickings can be slim.
It's worth bearing in mind that as soon as a job hits the job sites other agencies are crawling all over it so there are times when agents might prefer to keep decent jobs under the radar by contacting candidates direct and only advertise the rubbish ones they're struggling to fill.
Good luck. [Post edited 25 Nov 2015 5:31]
