The more you differentiate yourself, the more likely I am to listen. My priority is: 1. Internal recruiters. They have real pull. 2. External recruiters that give me real information and give me quality information before I get on a call and why I might be interested. 3. External recruiters that are working with a company that I have prior interest in.

Below this, I usually don't respond.

4. Recruiters that ask if I can "get on a call" to get me details. 5. Recruiters from big name firms. (Robert Half et. al) 6. Low quality recruiters that have no connection to what I do.
