I get a few emails from recruiters on linkedin and most of them are actually pretty nice... I realize most if not all of the emails are templated, but it's fine, usually if you respond, you get a human response back. If I can help them (and help a friend or myself who is looking for a job), then I do, if not, I tell them I don't know anyone, being polite goes a long way, I think. Recruiters are doing their jobs, in a pretty hostile environment (with posts like this), and just like any other job, there are those that will make the profession look bad, or aren't very good (yet). [EDIT] - Is it possible that I'm somehow insulated from these really really bad recruiters somehow? I'm in Austin, TX (not SV), so maybe that's somehow it? Never had recruitment emails as ridiculous as what I have been reading
