A decent amount of the messages I'm getting have actual unfinished boilerplate in them, like "Your experience in put experience here looks very interesting".

Doesn't feel like someone is reaching out to me as much as a trawler is passing by and my linkedin or whatever got caught in the net.

The "candidate relationship management" tools have repurposed the state of the art in phishing for emailing potential applicants. This seems unsustainable and ripe for disruption, but I don't know what better looks like given the cost of real candidate research and necessarily low conversion rate.
