If after the phone call they leave you alone for a few more months perhaps it is wise to just be polite and put them off for another few months. They may be handy in the future. | |

Maybe they did remove it, then the new guy discovered you all over again when dredging the internet, diving in dumpsters, or whatever recruiters do between nagging the prospects and the hiring managers. | |

Send them on wild goose chases anything to waste their time. Telling them no is not a waste of their time. Sending them on false leads and providing bogus contacts irritates them. | |

| Sep 4, 2012 at 23:39 | comment | added | yoozer8 | I'd suggest looking into harassment laws in your country (state, city, province, etc). If you suggested to them the possibility of legal trouble (if possible), I'm sure they'd be quite happy to leave you alone. | |
| Sep 4, 2012 at 23:28 | comment | added | KOVIKO | @enderland Surely it would, but the last time I just ignored their e-mail, I got a call two days later asking if I'd received their e-mail... Recruiters can be a bit pushy. | |
| Sep 4, 2012 at 23:27 | comment | added | enderland | Setting up an email filter for that domain removes the email problem. | |
