It's not arbitrary bullshit to the recruiter, it's her bread and butter. She really wants managers because they are decision makers whom she can pitch her services to, nothing to do with the client. Never give contact information for other people to recruiters, whether that person is a developer or employer, they will be spammed relentlessly because that is how recruiters make money. Some of them are so despicable they might claim you referred them. Recruiters (with very few exceptions) are the lowest of the low, always keep that in mind when dealing with them and act accordingly.
