I think you could get the same effect but in like 6-8 sentences, 1-2 paragraphs.
If I saw this text in a response, personally (and I'm not a recruiter), I'd move on since the person seems hard to handle.
But yeah my approach is different in the first place. I only respond to recruiters who seem to put good thought and background research into their conversation starter.
- AlexC04 5y agoI'd love to see your version of the same thing. The exact response isn't really as important as writing something that is authentic and in "your voice" You're probably right that a different response would work well for you. Though if a recruiter wasn't willing to read through that for the ~$30k payday I'd represent if they are successful, maybe that's one that I don't want to work with either. But we all gravitate towards people who we think we'd fit with. Maybe someone skips over me for coming across as a stuffy and a lot of work and maybe someone else says "finally a type-a jackass like me! we're gonna crush this thing" ha ha ha
- notapenny 5y agoI'd cut that whole message down to this: "Thanks for reaching out, could you send along the company name, a job description and total compensation details for the role?" Get to the core of what you're asking. The rest of the response is needlessly long-winded. You don't want them to waste your time, and that is a fair ask in our industry, but you also don't need to waste theirs.
