>> How frequently do you get these kinds of recruitment emails?
I'm actively contributing to popular projects, have more than a dozen of followers, and my email is public but I have never received any recruitment emails. It's a pity.
- r3bl 10y agoI have ~450 contributions in the last year, ~100 followers, my email address is public, and I have two mildly popular repositories (with a couple of hundred stars). I wish they were useful, but most of them are automated and when you follow up, you usually get greeted by an email stating that they're looking for someone with completely different background than you have. You might be lucky not to receive them. I feel like, if I were looking for a job, I would have more luck with "Who wants to be hired" threads posted here on a monthly basis.
- chris_7 10y agoI don't understand how you can use that thread unless you're currently unemployed. Is the hope just that no one else at your company reads it?
- r3bl 10y ago> ...if I were looking for a job... I didn't use it, and probably won't any time soon, but once I start looking for a job, I feel like my chances are much higher with that thread than with the emails I get from people who purchased the services this company is offering.
- chris_7 10y agoI get that, but how do you prevent your current company from seeing the post and identifying you?
- r3bl 10y agoWell, luckily, my contract does have a clause stating that any party needs to let the other party know in advance that they are leaving the position / getting fired, so I will not have a problem with that.
