Will not accept CV
Discussion
Have found this out today after some digging by another agency.
it goes back to an offer of work i was given subject to forms DBS etc.
The offer was rescinded and I have obviously been blacklisted to the company by the agency.
Basically the guy dealing me was either sacked or leaving and sat on my forms for weeks, there was a deadline put on in it all by the firm (unbeknown to me) and after some faffing the offer was rescinded.
I have since applied there again through other agencies and been told my CV will not be accepted.
Is there anyone I can contact about this to try and sort this out? Obviously it's a waste of time talking to the firm as they will simply ignore any messages, then even told this last agency I was a good fit for the role?
Is there a time limit on when I can apply? Is it for bloody life?

The problem is that the agency have obviously bad mouthed me to the company, and now I cannot get past that despite being a fit for the role and being accepted for it?
its a weird situation.
is there a recruitment ombudsman typoe company that I could contact? Or some sort of complaints thing?

Have a look at this to find out more information. If they have information about you (such as a blacklist with your name on it or emails describing your application between staff and/or the recruitment agency) you have the right to get copies of this information. If an error has been made, you have the right to have it corrected. If you write to the company recorded delivery to request this, it's pretty serious for them if they don't respond. The request might also stir up a few things internally, if it gets to someone senior and they realise they have made a mistake leading to them apologising and allowing you to apply again.

Move on. It's not worth stressing about.
They've made a decision, and even though you don't like it they're unlikely to change

I've never understood this, we're really sorry, if we had another job, we'll keep you're details on file.
I've recruited many, no we weren't, we've other jobs but not yours and no we won't.
Move on.

Some organisations do, but presumably only pretty big ones. It's how I got my current job, and so did several other people in the group. They have 2 rounds of interviews and then offer the job to the one they preferred out of those that get though both rounds. As more roles come up they make offers to the people who've already passed the interviews rather than having to start the whole recruitment process again. I've recruited many, no we weren't, we've other jobs but not yours and no we won't.
Move on.

If you really want the job, one option would be to find out who the hiring manager is and send a connection request on LinkedIn explaining your side of the story.
Desperate, needy candidates generally go in the bin. Too much hassle, and whatever the real story is, the OP is looking like that. Not saying he is but to the recruiting company it will just look like a load of hassle

If this doesn't work then you also have the right of erasure:https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/

Get you existing data nuked - then resubmit. I doubt a human at the agency will remember you, it will be automated data sifting that makes the computer say "No".
Needy, sod right off man.
The agency messed up my application! I was offered the job, the agency messed up the process and now I have been blacklisted by the company because the agency did not want to lose face and would have told crap about me to the company to do so and not lose a client who they can provide staff to.
It is as simple as that. That is plain wrong on every level.

You were offered the post subject to DBS etc.
So I presume you had some form of interview/selection process? Do you therefore have a named individual at the company to raise the matter with? If not, pitch up at the place and explain?
If you were offered then they must have wanted you.
Good luck.
What happened was that I was interviewed, then offered the role, I accepted subject to the paperwork being completed.
I do not know if there was some issue with the agency involved, but the guy I dealt with there either left r was sacked so my paperwork was left for a while, I kept him informed of the DBS situation which took a while, and was then told by someone else that the paperwork had errors on it, references had not been checked, personal referees were asked numerous times to do things etc.
All I can conclude is that the agency dumped all this on me to save face, and I now applied again through another agency, who were told I was a good fit for the t=role but my CV would not be accepted, the offer has been dropped?
Tell me how messed up that is!!
BTW am not that fussed, I have other role to look at, but this staggered me really.

Were you interviewed by someone from the company, or just the agency?If the former then there ought to be a record of the offer?
Anyway, glad to hear you have something else in the pipeline.
