If it's not interesting I don't respond. If it's interesting I check out the web site and filter out any hipster shops, open floor plans, mandatory pair programming, Microsoft stuff, frat shops, body shops, H1-B shops, etc, etc. Then I look at pictures of people posted on those sites. Do I fit the demographic of the company? Am I going to be the odd person because no one there is over 20? Then I consider if the place would pay more than my current job. I check several salary sources, read the negative reviews, etc. If its a big company, I read about the executive management and try to look them up on LinkedIn. If its a small company, I read their management bio pages and look them up on LinkedIn. I consider if any of the owners/founders were actually ever developers or know anything about software. Do the founders seem douchey or dumb? I try to find youtube interviews to get a feel of their personality and values. Finally, I give up and don't respond. The truth is I don't want to work at your job. I worked there or someplace like it a decade ago and I'm not going back. Recruiters who want to know why or why not someone might respond need to consider if their opportunity is really a good fit for the person before sending it. Its really not my dream to be a JEE/JSP developer for acme whatever company. And I don't refer anyone because everyone I know likes their job or lives somewhere else.
