I get a ton of recruiter spam. For me I think it's a combination of having a LinkedIn profile, an active Github and Stack Overflow profile, having a blog, and having them all linked together. Unfortunately, I'm now at a place where it's mostly just a nuisance because the positions they have to offer are generally at worse companies with worse management, environments, pay, and benefits. It's generally not worth my time to respond. If I do respond it's not going to be with my resume, but instead with a list of questions they need to answer to decide if it's worthwhile.

Pretty much identical to me. I make a point of telling them to email me details because I learned a long time ago that 99% of their phone calls are a waste of time.

It's been a very long time since a recruiter got me a good job. Mostly it's direct contact with companies or people in my network.
