It's understandable that recruiters are playing a numbers game.

Imagine if recruiters were paid using the formula:

% of filled position salary / # of contacted recipients

This would encourage recruiters to contact only the best-fit(s) for the position. While at the same time reducing the "spam" some of us receive on a daily basis.

A win-win.

P.S. I understand it's nearly impossible to track the # of contacts.
