Good blog post.
I used to get spammed to hell by recruiters until I:
1. Requested the removal of my details from their database.
2. Threatened to report them to the REC (UK-based recruitment organisation).
3. Threatened legal action, quoting relevant EU directives.
4. Named and shamed them on a blog post (or two).
5. Requested an apology from their managing director.
Seemed to work a treat.
One 'sorry' recruiter admitted that they generated an 'email blast' based on a keyboard search which was taken from data scraped from JobSite (or other similar job website) 1-2 years ago.
