Being contacted by a recruiter is nothing special or anything to brag about unless you get a personalized email. I have gotten maybe 2 personalized emails ever from a recruiter and in that case they were internal recruiters (not outsourced). They took the time to research me and mention specific project I've worked on. In this case it sounds like he was getting "cold-emails" which I get (and my co-workers) every week or two. I sympathize with the author, it's annoying to tell a company (TekSystems in my case) that I don't want to move and I'm only interested in specific jobs and a salary equal to or greater than X and then have them continue to call and email me with jobs where I'd make 1/3-1/2 less than I currently make (and I've told them how much I make).
