Taleo sells your personal information

Everyone these days is applying for positions. It seems that most of the alleged general recruitment sites have major issues providing genuine positions. In months of investigating positions on CareerBuilder, only one out of hundreds appeared to be genuine. The same pretty much goes for all of the jobs websites.

Today it was startling to find that Taleo has apparently been selling email addresses in some kind of spam campaign. The following email in all its dubious glory was received from a Taleo server. Case closed on Taleo.

 In other similar news I've been on the mailing list for SCWorks for a long time. A few days ago, an interesting position was listed and the question was raised as to whether i was interested. A long farce then ensued.

SCWorks - Are you interested in this vacancy?
Me - Yes.
SCWorks - You must apply online via the link.
Me - The link leads off to a 3rd party website that says the job has gone.
SCWorks - Do a search on the SCWorks website.
Me - Sorry but I have just tried that and the search does not seem to work.
SCWorks - Here's a link to the job on the company website.
Me - That's a link to the splash page. There are several jobs listed with the same description. Which one was it.
SCWorks - Try this, tjis, tjis and this.

It just seems that all these general jobs websites and that includes government sites feed off each other and with each iteration lose accuracy.
