Tell recruiters politely “no” with a simple link

I wish LinkedIn would let recruiters realize that I'm only willing to work within specified geographical areas. Probably 80% of my LinkedIn recruiter spam is for jobs that require moving to SV or NYC. It's a waste of everybody's time.

Even better would be a mechanism that cost recruiters actual $$$ for spamming people whose profiles clearly indicate they're unsuited for the job or unwilling to relocate to the job's location.

Not sure if that's still the case but LinkedIn used to have a service called the Inmail Response Guarantee [1]. The simplest way to ensure the recruiter does cost money is to respond to your inmail.

They must have some mechanism like that still in place because when you switch your profile to "I am looking", you start getting nag reminders from LinkedIn to respond to recruiters or else your switch will slide back to off.
