Recruiting Practices

I am getting frustrated by the number of emails I receive each day for positions that do not match my profile at all. This morning, I am feeling quite irritable and a recruiter from a company I've been receiving the bulk of these emails from, ended up receiving this email from me:

-----------

Good morning.

I would like to request that you and your team please read my resume before sending out emails that do not match my profile.

I have seen an influx of emails that do not match my experience at all, and while I understand that your practice, which may be easier for you, may be to throw a wider net, I do not agree with this practice as it diminishes my value as a potential candidate.

I am continuing to find that my impression of this recruitment firm is declining every time this happens.

I would appreciate that your team review your recruiting practices especially ones that do not work, such as this.

Thanks, and have a good day.

To recruiters: Please update your recruiting practices. This just reflects very poorly of your company if you just shoot out emails to random people who do not match the position at all. I am going to block this company from now on. I don't see any value in receiving emails such as this, and by allowing them to continue to send me emails, it is like I am amenable to this.
