Terrible experience with these guys,

Terrible experience with these guys,
I was v close to securing a role with another recruiter until a Snr guy at this firm called me for a chat . Me being naive at the time and trusting TOM, I explained that I was no longer looking for a position and disclosed the role. Within 24 hrs the role was off the table I can only assume these guys were in contact with the hiring manager and completely discredited me. Needless to say I thought the industry was professional and had standards until TOM (IP) came into play
