I detest cold emails in general, but the occasional recruitment email from a founder/recruiter who clearly looked quite deeply into my passion projects always felt good and resulted in a nice conversation even if the opportunity didn’t pan out.
It’s sad that going forward I probably won’t be able to tell genuine interest from this kind of fake bullshit.
- sph 2y agoMy spam filter for cold outreach is simple: if it opens with "Hi <real name>" or "Hi <HN user name>", there's a good likelihood it's a human. If they don't know my name, they don't even know where they got my email from, so probably spam, however intelligible it looks. It's the same in the age of spam calls. If it's a mobile phone and the person behind didn't even bother to introduce themselves via SMS/WhatsApp, I don't pick up.
