I know many people have an issue with the job centre job finding website, but for me I find it's working and it's so much easier to use and apply for jobs.

Anyhow the last 4-6 days the whole of London area jobs have been 98% spammed by a company called Agency Central Limited (Job Warehouse), with over 40 pages of jobs only around two pages exist with 'normal' type jobs.

I'm not sure if other areas across the UK have been effected by 'Agency Central Limited', but it has ruined the website. I'm now unable to see any other jobs because this scum organisation. Job centre website only allows 40 pages of the newest jobs to be viewed so therefore all employers and been pushed away and replaced by this agency.

I'm also noticing another agency called Monster Worldwide have started spamming now.

I'm getting really sick of this.

    Yes, I've noticed that too.

    It has certainly increased the number of jobs on there though.

    Normally I would get at least one call or email a day from employers wanting to talk or meet me. I'm gutted because now I can't properly use the website, for example in three days I've only applied for 1 job normally i apply for between 3-7 per day, because every other page is filled with SPAM and jobs that do not exist.

    This is really beginning to stress me out and upset me, these SPAMMERS need to realise they are messing with peoples lives here, and the lives of family members including children etc.

    Where the hell are the job centre staff out of hours to remove these scum bags.

    Monster Worldwide is the company that operate the site on behalf of the government. Its not a in house application anymore.

    Well it's not fair that one agency CAN take over page after page with agency jobs, yet small and large everyday companies adverts are getting removed because scum bags are taking over the websites, especially in larger cities.

    I was telling someone the same just yesterday, not looking for work myself but aware of it due to someone else.....often look at the jobs over periods of time and it's a joke!!

    This bloody website is owned by the UK government and they should be monitoring every job 24/7 and protecting us. Many users to the job search website are desperate and extremely vulnerable, yet they just sit back in the cosy office 9-5pm while we get F****^^G SCAMMED!

    I had a browse around the site last month and I was surprised to see three fake agency jobs, with addresses that did not match up to where they said! An utter joke.

    The whole thing is a scam. A disgusting culture of pressuring folk to find jobs with this beauty of a website serving as a hindrance, due to inaccurate jobs being listed.

    I agree. A lot of the jobs don't appear to be genuine and are repeated numerous times.

    The site has turned to shit since they changed it anyway.

    It's a mess.

    It worked well before the change.

    The duplicated and non jobs might be the government way of suggesting there's more jobs available. Also regarding these fake jobs the DWP might think if they apply for a non job then they've not full field their JSA agreement.

    If you apply, even if its fake how are you to know ? Your responsibility is to apply or take steps . Its the government responsibility to make sure a real job is there, otherwise they're just conning and lying to ALL taxpayers.

    Does this apply to the agency called cv-library too?

    I applied for a job on there the other day. I've just noticed an email from them on my server (I haven't actually received it on my email client yet) and I've noticed the source code contains an image called "Alison does it in the bath"
