What even is Selby Jennings?

I've definitely had success with introductions from smaller headhunters, but I was wondering about people's experience with Selby Jennings. Are they even a legit search firm, or do they just send people's resumes unsolicited to the various opportunities they claim to have mandates for? 

I've received a few voicemails from these people but nobody ever picks up when I called back. All seems very odd.

We have stopped using Selby. They send CVs into roles without telling candidates. 

Honestly a terrible firm in an industry where the average standard is already poor.
