I have definitely found that for most responding keeps them from following up weekly and many will leave you alone for at least 6 months. I really wish more would heed the "I will let you know when I am ready" message bc I have found many dont.
I dont know how recruiters send their messages I just know most dont care how you have replied in the past and will keep hounding your regardless. They are the used car salesmen of Tech in my opinion.
I'm a professional PHP, Python and Javascript developer from the UK. I've worked with Django, Laravel, and React, among others. I also maintain a legacy Zend 1 application.
In the course I've my nearly a decade in the industry, I've dealt with precisely one recruiter who's been good. She's found me three roles in total that I've taken (the second of those came to an abrupt end when I was ill my first week, but that wasn't her fault), including the role I've been in for the last two and a bit years.
There are good ones, but they're very rare.

I have a template reply saved in Evernote. I just copy and paste it.
The reply is very polite. I tell them "this time" I'm not interested but "I'll let them know whenever I'm open for new opportunities".
Some have come back again but I just tell them "I'm still not looking for a job" 😆
I used to ignore them but I think is better to give them a reply. We never know when it's going to be our time to be the one waiting to be replied to.

Has happened to me in LinkedIn. Would they send recruitment messages in bulk?
