The recruitment Game - Ploy No 2

They call out of the blue.. tell you they have seen your CV on a website, they have a great role but of course they can't tell you the client's name BUT they do need to know if you are interviewing.  Well yes.. I am.  Then they ask who with.. I was already a little wary and they would insist, so I would tell the bank's name.. and they would say "ahhh" .. intimating it may be that very bank. 

Then they want to know names of the people you saw.. this is a common trick to try and find out what live roles exist out there. 

Yes, one barrow boy Oik was so thick that he called back the next day to try and find out the spelling of my interviewer.  I hung up.
