I appreciate this article for taking an angle I'd never thought of, actually getting recruiters to stop by punishing them. But if you're not going to actually take those steps, I wrote up a different set of tips.

Recruiters can be infuriating, so the true cost of the call is the 10 seconds it took for you to hang up on them plus the 15 minutes it takes to calm down. As an example, I hung up on someone yesterday who called right back with this line, "Are you that fast will all your women."
They're relentless.
Anyway, the TLDR; version of my trick in the Medium post above is to have a script that's very happy but which leads to you hanging up no matter what response they give you. Somehow that lets me imagine that I'm having a polite conversation regardless of how they try to trap me.
I'm usually super calm, but these calls used to get under my skin and distract me. I can't have that.
