    They are serious CV trolls.
    I've seen several job postings by them on nixers.ie...everyone I called about they end up refering to an assessment test for HP technical support. This seems to be the only contract they have and every other job posting they have is a troll for that contract.
    The job description I refered to specifically said "non-telephone support", I told them that and he asked if I had a degree. I said no and he said "well that's a prerequisite" I said that it wasn't in the job description...he said "well sorry we made a mistake....ummmm can I call you back about your HP assessment test". CRAP I tells ya!!!!

    Nearly every agency in Dublin is pimping HP at the moment - I've had 3 contact me about working there...

    Sigh...whatever happened to network administration in a medium sized company (and why does everyone still have windows 2000/3 server?)

    And keep in mind that HP is not a nice working environment, at least at the moment.

    Most of the HP jobs around at the moment are for tech support in Clonskeagh (I think it is). Of course you're never actually employed by HP, merely employed by the agency as a contractor to HP.

    Nearly 80% of Recruitment agencies in Ireland would cut you for 50 Euro - Be very careful when approaching them, never meet them alone and NEVER trust them. It's a self-regulating quango phenomenon. The ones that are good are very good but the majority of them are dodgy. I met someone from 1800People in Cork - he had three positions on offer which he was going to investigate and reply to me on. I called the agency a fortnight later but they had no record of this guy ever working for them?
