Called looking for Materials manager. I said he was unavailable and he pressed for the manager's boss' name. Claimed he was Josh Schloss...
rude and insolent... I put him on hold until he hung up.
Person called claiming to be "Tim Lewis" from an engineering firm. Had team information and was probing for additional names and contacts. Claimed he got a call from "Matt" and wanted to get in touch with him (although there is no Matt on our team).
This recruiter was down and dirty, and quite a jerk when I wouldn't provide him with information. Pressed hard wanting immediate information because he was "leaving town".
On 7-15-08 he called me stating that someone from our office left a message for him aking for information but the message was garbled and could I give him the names of the personnel in the office and he would see if any of the names matched up with the one on the message. I gave him 2 names but he pressed me for more. After some time I told him he seemed to be "fishing" and he said that he didn't have a pole in his hand. We ended the conversation when I told him I would not give him phone numbers but he could leave a message with me I would try to locate the person that called and have them call him back. He did call the 2 names - they were aware of my phone call and did not give him any additional information.
