Job advertised on company website & agency website - conflicting information
book12
Posts: 2,557 Forumite
I registered with another agency early this week (17th).
The agency have found and put me forward for a job. She told me that the job is new and just arrived in her e-mail inbox on the day I registered (the minute I was sitting down chatting with her about my circumstances). Now I will need to wait for an interview date.
I went back home and researched the company that I will be working for, so I know what the company is all about. Coincidently, the job was on the company's website, and the date it was posted was last week (13th) with a closing date of yesterday (19th).
The job is uploaded on the agency's website, a day after the staff saw me. It still appears active and accepting applications/CVs.
I am curious why there are conflicting information between the company and the agency?

Probably because they would rather recruit from their own advert than via an agency whom they would have to pay.0

Or perhaps they got no/poor response from their website ad and so got the agency involved.0

Or the agency don't really have the job and are "ad chasing" ie submitting speculative CVs to advertised jobs... very poor practice.
I have just written to the MD of a company today when someone showed me a job I advertised on an agency website. I am recruiting directly, paid a fortune to advertise, received a great response and there is no way I will accept speculative applications from agencies.
Sorry, I'm in a very bad mood! Hopefully, the company have just not got the response they were looking for and have gone to an agency for help as Zenmaster suggests....
Good luck!0
