This is absolutely brilliant. The thing is, how do you actually reply the recruiters with the link? Surely it would be rather rude to simply reply a solicitation with a 'please check this link'.

I'd imagine it's done in the same automated manner the recruiters usually use when contacting a possible lead.

It does not seem rude to me to reply to someone with a brief salutation and a request to complete some forms when that is what they are requesting you do as well.

It's an IT-equivalent of cold-calling. Normally I just do not bother responding.
That is exactly what I do.
Huh, interesting. what's the feedback from the recruiters? How do they respond? This idea is absolutely fantastic that I might just as well do it myself as well.
Most just copy&paste the opening. Some of them get it and make a real effort to fill out the form in a cool way.
