Hey @whokilledkevin , thanks for this!
I followed you off of the back of your bot post the other day and yes the single most annoying thing is recruiters complete inability to READ.
Second to that is "I hope you're well" or some other platitude.
You have prompted me to write up my experiences with recruiters as I turned my last job hunt into a dev project like yourself.
Mine was different to yours wherein I could tell if a recruiter had bothered to read the very extensive FAQ I made.
Literally every question they could want answered was in there along with the “oh, well, we need to talk to you to gauge if you’re a mutant or not”
This helped me cut through the vast majority of the panic diallers that called the first number that matched one of their keywords.
Time is precious, I know that, it’s their job to find these people, make sure they are calling the right person before picking up the phone.
