I've been getting daily unsolicited calls from technical recruiters (mainly from various employees of 1 company). I've emailed them politely mentioning I'm not interested. This caused a brief pause in the calls but now they are back.
I'd imagine quite a few HN readers have dealt with this problem. Advice?
Two possible outcomes:
- The recruiters quickly learn you have no intention of talking about job opportunities, and stop calling.
- You develop a very well validated product that you can effectively sell to recruiters, a space that is red hot right now.
As for stopping calls from recruiters completely, well it's near impossible. That's part of the reason why the vast majority of people can't stand tech recruiters. I don't necessarily enjoy calling people I haven't previously spoken to before but I do try my best to ensure I have a valid reason for calling.
