I had a long discussion about with a recruiter, since my title is "Not looking for work" and my bio a longer version of "don't contact me". I still get contacted here and there, and I'm very rude when it happens.
It's apparently my fault if their scripts only see "looking for work" and contact me. If I didn't want to be contacted by recruiters, I shouldn't say that I'm not looking for work. He said that he couldn't know that I didn't want to be contacted because he doesn't have time to read profiles.
That was his defence to "this is why people don't like recruiters". Every additional message made me hate recruiters more.
Others have justified it as "maybe your very explicit request not to be contacted is outdated, and you want to be contacted". Nope. Still self-employed.
