My resume/CV/linkedin includes a prominent "note to recruiters" link which makes it clear what kind of a fit I'd be and vice versa. (eg I'm the kind of person who is far better at being employee #6 than #60,001) It mentions other things as well (eg getting a copy in Word format) and most importantly it says to give the company name and explains why. It is very apparent from the recruiter emails that come in which ones have actually even bothered to read the note. The vast majority haven't which is a good indication they aren't diligent with their clients either. The rest often thank me for having it, or make other statements and are obviously showing signs of competence so I respond back to them. Since I run my own mailserver I then add the bad recruiters to a block list so email from their domain is rejected at the SMTP level. The reason for blocking the domain not the individual is that recruiters are in the recruitment business - if they can't hire good people for their own business in a field they specialise in, why should they be trusted for IT?
