Same. Sooo many Norwegian companies for some reason use UK recruiters. I'm boycotting each and every company doing that.
They're nothing but noise. Shotgunning messages to everyone. Calling me out of the blue while I'm at work. Just straight up spam and annoyances. We don't get much robo-calls here, so UK recruiters is the sole reason why I no longer pick up the phone from unknown numbers. It can sometimes be multiple a day. And blocking UK numbers doesn't work. If you don't answer, they call you a minute later routed through a Norwegian number.
F*ck every Norwegian company outsourcing their recruiting to these agencies. I don't think they understand how poorly it reflects on them..
its not just Norway, a lot of recruitment companies based in the UK are focused on european mainland market, germany, switzerland, denmark, etc.. a lot of cowboys over there who figured out putting people into chairs is very profitable and scalable. some of them act as middle men and take a cut out of your salary. its really the new wild west over here.
