Started coding at the age of 13, now a professional software engineer and Scrum Master, creating and maintaining enterprise solutions. Eat - Sleep - Code - Lift - Repeat 💪🏾
After several years working in the enterprise environment and in an industry where there is a constant shortage of skilled workers, I have gained a lot of experience with recruiters.
These people sprout from the ground and the next day they no longer exist or are with another agency. I understand that their job is not always easy and can be a lot of work. Unfortunately, most experiences are just like the one you describe: the recruiters don't take time for the answers or just scan them and go on.
But I have already had some very pleasant contacts. You say to them that you are not interested in the next half year and they will get back to you exactly half a year later. They also had a technical understanding, took their time late in the evening (sacrificed their free time) and contact you every now and then just to be up to date and to get an opinion from "experts" about certain trends.
To answer your question: YES, this should be a basic requirement and no reputable agency would hire / keep such a person if he acted so stupidly.

Considering that my email signature includes my LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter & Portfolio, where the link of my resume is linked, it's such a moronic thing to not at least spend 1 minute on each to see wether the applicant is qualified or not.

Having all those social links in your signature disqualifies the recruiter even more in my eyes as he either missed to scroll that far or to check them out a second.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
