Just wondering whether something has been done incorrectly here, doesnt feel right but not really sure?
Got a couple of missed calls, a voicemail, a whatsapp message and a linkedin request from an unknown number/person, wanting to discuss a job opportunity. Took me by surprise as im not currently looking for other work, and was pretty sure that my number wasnt on linkedin.
Let the person know via message that i was not looking for other work and asked where he had got my details from. He replies saying he got my details from my cv that i uploaded to a recruitment company 8 years ago.
8 years ago i was newly graduated and looking for work. My situation has obviously changed a lot in 8 years. Surely the recruitment company shouldmt have kept my details on file and still be giving them out to people after so long, especially since gdpr rules have come into play since then??
AIBU to kick up a fuss about why my details have been passed out to people? I dont have my personal number on linked in as i feel email/linkedin message at initial stage is plenty for any contact, personal phone contact (especially with the number of missed calls/messages from this person in a short period) feels very invasive.
