I'm not. I reflexively ignore them, train my spam filter to remove them, and even decline to contact a company myself if a particularly aggressive recruiter from that company has recently reached out to me. In my experience they have 0 respect for my time or boundaries.
Their 2x drip autogenerated email campaigns have grown to 4x recently, clearly all generated using the same software because the cadence is identical though of course they're written to sound like a human sat down and wrote them. I'm sure somebody at that company got a promotion for changing a 2 to a 4 which most have cost them nothing but who is responding to that 4th email that wouldn't have responded to the first?
They've called me during work hours, they've texted me, they've lied about where they got my number. A friend even had an "AI-generated" recruiter cobble together a mad libs email from whatever they must have crawled from his github so they aren't even respectful enough to send humans anymore.

- ketralnis 5y agoOf course as I wrote that I received 3 simultaneous identical emails from an Amazon recruiter, two to my work address and one to my personal one, for a job that I'm not qualified for at a level significantly below my years of experience in a city where I don't live. But it's full of emojis so I guess there's that.
