This is more nitpicky if anything, but developers are not the only ones that get blasted and ghosted with recruiters.
I'm a DBA, but I also get recruiters always telling me how I am perfect for a Sr. full stack engineer.

"This is unacceptable, developers can write code and could exfiltrate data".
"Umm... someone needs to be doing database updates, backups, restores, etc. Who do you suggest do that?" (bear in mind there's only 3 tech people on our team, and only 6 people total involved in the company's business).
"Typically a DBA or a manager would do that work. It would need to be someone who couldn't write any code to exfiltrate data".
We just sat on the call for another minute or so. I asked him to detail out the process by which someone who should be incapable of 'exfiltrating code' should also be the person who has access to manage the structure of a production database. We got nothing back except a checklist of stuff that we'd 'failed' with no remediation suggestions.
So... apparently some large companies do not consider DBAs as "developers" for certain checklists.
