It honestly baffles me how these scam artists earn a living.

I forwarded my CV to the relevant Paton sector recruiter to which she promptly contacted me. We had a brief chat as to what my career options were to which she indicated she was happy to have a chat and would confirm the relevant meeting details by sending me an invite. I indicated I could confirm availability once the invute was sent. A couple days later I receive an invite AFTER the proposed meeting time and her assistant attempts to call me several times.

I can't imagine this sort of attitude and lack of professional conduct was what the original founder's of this business intended.

Bottom line: avoid at all costs, they just out to place you even if the position isn't right and can barely conduct administrative functions.
