If so then that is indicating your job application stood no chance anyway. But far better people always use written applications rather than their information being sold online, do you agree ?
In time if it becomes habit the recruitment industry would be discovered for what they are really up to, which is all ready well known, to have little to do with offering actual employment.
If the employer is binning posted applications you would have every right to lodge a discrimination claim based on employment opportunity - providing evidence of posting then letter from
the employer, your information could not be produced at the hearing. With 40,000 lets say such claims per week the recruitment industry would be forced to accept written applications
as the only valid means of gaining employment.
Indeed just turning up at work sites might yield a result.
Agree entirely Chris, and a concise well thought out handwritten application must surely be better than something knocked out on a keyboard and emailed to an employer. Providing the letter is legible of course. Unfortunately we may be moving towards a time where penmanship gives way to textspeak for God's sake
