This post is a follow up from my previous post titled “The Truth About Indian IT Consulting Firms Revealed“. In that post I wrote about the tactics that Indian IT consulting firms employ to recruit and place international students in IT jobs.

In this post I am going to share an email from an IT firm that I receive every week. The drill goes something like this. The firm calls me on my cell phone. I have their number saved, so I know its them and I ignore the call. The person on the other end then leaves me a long voice mail, the gist of which is that I am an excellent candidate for an IT job with that firm. Almost immediately, I get an email in my inbox detailing the exact same things on the voicemail.

On two separate occasions I took the phone call and told them that I wasn’t interested in their offer and to take my name off their calling list. The recruiter apologized and said that they would never call me again. They started calling again the following Monday.

So here is a copy of the email that they send me. I have blackened out any identifiable information so as to avoid any legal issues. Notice in the email how they promise to place you in “US Fortune 500 companies” and how they are ready to take in “Graduates in any stream”.

Did you get similar unsolicited emails like this. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
