I suspect that 80% of the calls I get are from recruiters - typically offering positions out of state. Being the polite guy I am, I used to make it a point to respond to all voicemails with a "no thank you". These days, I use an "unable to answer" message that states up front that, if you are a recruiter, DO NOT leave a voicemail - email me instead. And yet, I still get voicemails sometimes. :P For all of the recruiter emails I get, I have a GMail canned reply that states up front the geographic areas I'm interested in and the minimum rate that I'm looking for. For the vast majority of these emails, I never receive a response. I have this same basic "disclaimer" at the top of my LinkedIn profile. Every once in a while, I get a cold email from a recruiter who has actually read it. 10 cool points to them.
