The Sisyphus of Stopping 3rd Party Recruiter
I think Elmo has finally reached self awareness

I once fell in like with a man because he could quote lines from this movie

The trap is now set for Dice. I asked chatGPT for the name of a famous con woman and she introduced me to Mary Carleton. Ms. Carlton's resume was also a creation of chatGPT and I'm already wondering if maybe i should have it write a new one for me.

A 3rd party recruiter sent me this screen cap earlier proving I'd posted my resume on dice and saying that's why these types of companies are spamming me with email on every job they have.

There are several things of note in this screen cap
1. DivaMatch implies a relationship with JobDiva. JobDiva/JobOppForYou/JopOpportunityForYou are the via domains that many of these spammers use. The emails routed through these domains feature an unsubscribe link but it seems to do nothing but confirm your address is good.
2. This screen cap indicates they downloaded my resume to store in their own database in late November. On November 7th, I received an email from a recruiter via dice.com. I had just uploaded a copy of my resume there on November 5th and it was flagged as private/non searchable. This email pissed me off so I deleted my dice.com account

What this implies is that recruiters who pay for Dice's service can download all of our personal details to their own databases and spam those personal details forever. If Dice really is the culprit behind these via spam domains, they've done an excellent job in obfuscating their culpability in CAN SPAM violations. It also tells me that Dice sells your details even when your account isn't supposed to be searchable. I'm going to test this by posting a fake resume on a dummy account on Dice and see if that account draws in the flies.

I've been fooling around with google apps scripts and chatGPT this week in an attempt to purge some of these garbage 3rd party recruiter emails. I published what I have so far on a substack (free) if anyone wants to take a look. Any input/recommendations will be appreciated as I'm new to apps scripts.
