This is not even remotely accurate, see https://www.levels.fyi/comp.html?track=Recruiter&search=Face....

Recruiters at FB seem to earn ~50-60% of the total compensation of Engineers at equivalent levels, doing a bit better at the bottom of the ladder (I don't see a single IC3 recruiter earning under $100k in the US; they'd have to be earning ~60k to be earning "half of the base of an L3 with no RSUs").

The people that email you are not L3s. They're actually often contractors. When they're not they're definitely L1s (or maybe L2s since I think L1s are actually service staff).

If they're contractors I can't "easily" find their salaries, since they aren't listed on levels.fyi (and other sources e.g. glassdoor are grossly unreliable). And, uh, I think the proper point of comparison there would be to line them up with the compensation of contractor devs; from what I hear they also earn substantially less than FTEs.
