I get ~4 recruiter emails a day and I don't think I have ever seen the salary in the initial job description. If the job looks interesting I will just reply ask

  This is why I stopped putting personal info in my resume. I once had a particularly aggressive recruiter try and recruit me for a contracting position (I only consider full time roles), and when I repeatedly declined his offer, he actually found my resume somewhere and just called my phone. Needless to say it was incredibly annoying and ever since then I've kept all contact info out of my resume.

    I put my Google Voice on my resume (and other places like my .sig) and I generally just forward all GV calls to VM. If they care to leave a message or send a text, I may read it. If they don't then I ignore (unless I'm expecting a call from that number in which case I'll call back in a day or two). Sometimes (like when we were looking for a nanny a few years ago) I may let GV actually ring on my main line.

  Of course, they already know what they will get, it is a fixed price. Anything they don't pay whoever they hire is money they get to keep. (they can't hire a junior engineer to a senior position - if the contract allowed that they would though). I've seen cases where someone doesn't know their value and thus accepts a very low offer.

  Pretty common sales tactic. They want you to invest as much time as possible because generally the more time you invest the more likely they are going to make a "sale". I'm not sure if this even works for devs as there is so many opportunities.
