Ask HN: What makes you want to open up a recruiter email?
I'm sure you get emails all the times from recruiters. Why do you open them and respond? Are the subjects interesting? Good timing? Salary is within your range?
I'm trying to change my emails to get higher response rates from developers.

In the body include: business area, is IT crucial or support, programming language(s) used, tech stack, private office or open plan, free snacks and / or free lunch, series funding level, size of company. Like dating, I have a list of requirements and 'nice to have' features, plus a trade off formula. For example: for twice my current salary, I would consider working in a Red state. It is generally true that awesome companies don't need recruiters.
