"Please, for the love of all that is holy, lead with the company's name. That's all we ask."
Not so. I also ask that -
You understand the role better than just a list of bullet points and so can answer questions.
You are in contact with the team that is hiring so that any questions you can't answer you can get me an answer for.
You have read enough about me to have proactively filtered the job; I'm not interested in a junior position, nor a lead position requiring a decade of experience. If you say you think I would be a "great match for this Perl position!" I will cut you.
You know enough about the industry to accurately sell the job. "An exciting Java opportunity!" followed by a description that makes it sound like it's writing business CRUD apps is an oxymoron. And any description that clearly shows you have no idea what you're talking about ("You must be familiar with the following languages: Java, HTML, CSS, JSON, OO, Functional") means immediate deletion from my inbox.
You actually remain in contact until a yea or nay is decided upon, either by me or the company. Don't just disappear. This also means if you change positions, you pass your leads to another recruiter. I filter email addresses of recruiters who don't do this.
