With online job search websites, often when you submit a resume to an employer, the website will allow you to make your resume searchable to all prospective employers on that site (sometimes they will do this automatically, requiring you to click to opt-out).

Some companies use these resumes to contact prospective employees, repeatedly, through phone calls, texts, and emails, often for low-level positions like sales, "financial consulting", etc. Some of these companies are shady or outright MLM schemes. Would courts consider a person allowing his resume to be searchable as "consent"?

Thanks for the reply. My thoughts on the issue are the same.

This actually came up for me just the other day. I'm a licensed attorney and applied for an attorney job. After a series of missed phone calls, texts, and emails, I realized the company contacting me was looking for 100% commission-based sales associates. Luckily, one phone call requesting they stop contacting me seems to have worked.
