You don't feel valued and sought after - more like spammed. It will quickly become very apparent that they haven't bothered reading or understanding your CV/resume and will say all sorts of stuff that obviously isn't true. The top of my CV/resume has a prominent "Note to recruiters" so it is trivial to tell if they did any work at all.

The recruiters operate in the same way as spammers. They send email far and wide to see if they can get any bites. If you want to be valued and sought after I suggest you start reading all the emails about helping out folks in Nigeria.
