I wouldn't find recruiters so annoying if they at least took 15 minutes to figure out who I was and what I'm interested in.

I have only once—once!—received a cold-call (well, email) from a recruiter that was in any way relevant to me as a person and a professional. And I still didn't want it. That's a pretty shitty track record.

Think of their track record - they call 100 people, get one that is a match to their opening. Statistically we should expect only 1 in 100 recruiter calls to be useful. It makes sense.
