Recruiter calls job seeker a 'dick' after being turned down

4/13/2012

A man identified only as "Robert" reportedly received an unsolicited email from a job recruiter and, when he declined the offer based on the fact that it would've been about a 782-mile commute, the recruiter lost his damn mind. According to the account of their emails, Joe Goddard responded with "Now I know why you're looking for a job -- because you're a smartass LOL, you dick"... and things got worse from there. Ignoring, for a sec, Mr. Goddard's run-on sentence and superfluous LOL, let's point out that it seems highly unlikely that anyone would want to work with a recruiting company that (allegedly) insults its potential clients. Don't cold-call us, Mr. Goddard -- we'll call you. LOL.
