Applicant Issues - Help!

I have an applicant who has applied for any available positions at least 15 times in the last 6 months. We have very low turnover (1.5%) and rarely have positions become available. I have sent the gentleman a letter every time he has applied (he doesn't even meet the minimum qualifications). He has now started calling me everyday, at least twice a day, to check on his application. I have explained to him every time that we have no available positions and that if we are interested, we will contact him. He is going overboard with all his phone calls and I have had it. What can I do to let him know we are not interested, never will be, and please stop calling (in a nice way of course). I understand he needs a job... but good grief! This is not the way to go about getting one. Help!

I have found it very easy to be more up-front and honest about their actual opportunities from the get go rather than tossing around good feeling and nice words that leave someone wondering well if I just be percistent they give me a chance. We have also moved our application process to the State/Fed supported job service system. Now I have everyone go to the job service to put their application/s in and then it is don't call me call them by.
