Hi, I have a complaint with ComputerFutures as well. After working with them for several months, the project they placed me in was prematurely stopped. Now after they could not place me again for their negotiation tactics are just plain greedy (They tried to negotiate a one time fee of 12 000,00 € by claiming I have bound myself to them with a contract which I have never done), they sue for more than 25000 €, by claiming I had kept on working for the project agency, which is not true the least. Even after several mails to their legal departement they just keep on writing bills and keep treatening.
I want to warn anybody: DO NOT WORK WITH Computer Futures. The hassle you’ll have is not worth it.
Besides the service they offered was lousy. Their agent did nothing to justify the 20,00 € / hour they charged, their recherche was not even existent and they plain lied when claiming they had worked with that particular agency before and knew the team. blah blah blah. The only thing they were always interested in was correctly filled in timesheets. If i had not filled them out by the end of the week i could certainly count on getting a call from the agent guy.
The funniest thing is, I still get work offers from them, as i would ever work with them again…
So beware of cf.

They are a pain, they don’t respond to e-mail and there’s no unsubscribe link whatsover.

You certainly have to admire the eloquence of the people who work with Computer Futures. Brilliant remark, “mom”.

I’ve had issues with Computer Futures too, they keep sending me CV’s which aren’t even relevant to us despite me sending several emails asking them to remove my details and threatening to report them. Today was the final straw!

Hey Guy,

Good luck with that. I’ve tried mailing a million times. It wasn’t until I actually made a really angry call and filed a complaint with the Dutch authorities that I stopped getting mail. Which doesn’t mean they haven’t sold my data to anyone else.

Hi,

I’m currently trying to get myself out of their system so I mails to about 15 people who spammed before with that request. If I will still be getting spam, I will file a complaint to their internet provider and domain registrar.

P.S. They are probably the worst spammer out there. I get completely irrelevant emails all the time, not a single hit. I have the impression they don’t even read candidates’ profiles, just spam around leaving it up to receivers to sort out spam.
