Munchausen Syndrome by Recruiter

The ones that annoy me were recruiters who would 'scrape' together a resume for me from my LinkedIn, then submit that to a company. I unilaterally stopped taking any connection requests from recruiters.

That's appalling. Where do you live? I've never experienced or heard of this in the UK.

This happened to me in the United States. I responded to a message, they listed out ~10 companies that were hiring rapidly, I said I wanted to update my resume since I had some other experience that were relevant to some of those firms, and the recruiter said they already sent out an export from LinkedIn.

7 out of the 10 firms rejected the submission by the recruiter. That was the last time I ever responded to a LinkedIn message.
