Ask HN: How do you handle recruiter spam?
2 by andersco | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I receive unsolicited emails from recruiters on an almost daily basis. I am not currently in the market for new work, nor if I were, do I think I would use a recruiter. For this reason, I struggle with how to deal with these constant unsolicited messages. I have tried a number of techniques for trying to reduce or eliminate these messages: - Ensure that my email address is not publicly visible on LinkedIn. -Use Just Delete Me to opt out wherever I can. - Respond to the recruiter and politely ask what service they used so I can opt out. - Report the email as spam. None of these have been very effective. I am still being barraged with emails. Does anyone have suggestions for how to reduce or eliminate unsolicited recruiter emails? Thanks in advance!
