I have an issue where my employer contacted a recruitment agent and demanded that I be taken off their database.
I get emailed to my personal email account and any phone calls are on my break when I am off work premises.Is the agent emailing / phoning / texting you at work? If so you are on a hiding to nothing.
How did your employer know?
If that's what happened here, it seems to me that the recruitment firm acted appropriately in removing your name from their database in order to avoid a conflict of interest.It would not be unknown for an agency to forward a CV to a company where the person was already working there, presumably unintentionally.
just use another agent ?
I have an issue where my employer contacted a recruitment agent and demanded that I be taken off their database. Judging by the lack of jobs I have been emailed I am presuming he complied.
Just wondering where I stand here with both of them. Can I take legal action?
I contacted the agent in confidence and my details shouldn't be shared with anyone without my consent. Then surely the employer has no right to do what they did.
In my mind that doesn't make a blind bit of difference as I am entitled to be on the database of as many recruiters as I want.
Go and work somewhere else and leave it at that, unless you want to take them to court, get a small settlement after months or years of stress and cost and put your name up in lights with every other recruitment agency and employer as someone not to be touched with a barge pole.As mentioned earlier there is no way I will continue to work for my employer but I am wondering where can I go from here?

I've pretty much been told by them they didn't want to lose me.Why don't you ask your employer for their side of the story?

If you haven't already, worth pointing out in stark terms they are going about that goal in entirely the wrong manner.
They need to increase the factors that encourage you to stay rather than attempt to make it hard for you to leave!
