Gillespie Manners Search & Selection

They somehow found my work email address, even though I don't use this on LinkedIn or any other social media platform. I have been getting several emails from one of their employees about a vacancy that I am neither interested in nor am suitably qualified for. I intend replying to this person but suspect my experience will be the same as the others who have left reviews here. In my opinion, this behavior consistutes a violation of 7 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 of the Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb (UWG) [Act against Unfair Competition] since I live in Germany; never gave them permission to contact me and have never indicated that I am interested in getting job offers. Requesting a Right to Erasure ( 17 GDPR) on their website, requires you to provide a copy of your ID card and proof of residential address. I am certainly not willing to share that sort of information with a company that appears to not respect the laws of other countries and the privacy of ordinary people.

My experience with Gillespie Manners was fantastic. They clearly understood my search criteria, were proactive with communication, and very helpful with coaching for interviews. I would highly recommend them.

Extremely aggressive recruiting. Over the course of one month I received: 2 LinkedIn messages, 5 emails, 3 phone calls, 3 voicemails from them. Over the top, please learn to take no for an answer.
