I hear what you are saying, but it sounds to me like you are the one seeking a position. I mean, I get recruiting emails as well, but I'm not seeking so I just press delete. There's no time or attention. It sounds like you are actively looking, but you also need a filter to decide where to interview so that you can cut down the list a bit. And them paying you would act as that filter for you, so fair enough. I'm not sure it's a good filter (they need interviewees so badly they pay for them? Does this suggest no one would interview there on other merits?)

Thank you Bruce for being a solid antagonist. Some recruiters are incredibly persistent. They may send 5-6 emails trying to get my attention. I'm a passive candidate like most highly sought after engineers and normally I would delete the emails but persistence stands out. So here's the light bulb.. if they're going to be that way why not make it serious. Instead of sending the 6th email asking for me to jump on a phone call. I as a highly sought after engineer say, this is what I'll accept to let your efforts cut through the noise and get to me.
