Unethical headhunters target optical practices
Bogus calls from unscrupulous headhunters are continuing to be made to optical practices despite a warning from the General Optical Council.
Last month the GOC issued a warning to practices following a spate of calls from recruiters. The callers, pretending to be from the GOC, duped receptionists into supplying details of the professional staff on site. The callers were then targeting optometrists as candidates for jobs elsewhere.
The GOC has repeated its warning to practices to be vigilant and this advice has been supported by the optical recruitment business.
Scott Liversidge, managing director of Flame Health, said the whole recruitment business was being tarnished by calls from shady operators who use underhand tactics to get to staff.
