Hola all (especially agency people),
I am a Project Manager.
So, I've recently returned to the industry, and am DELIGHTED to receive 20-30 emails daily, most of which are fake CV's/ghosts.

Have any of you found such a tool?

Have a good weekend!

Just ask Ron (the developer). He is extremely responsive and helpful.
