Emailing your work email? Isn't that like a big no-no in the recruiting space?

That's exactly what I'm trying to say. I auto delete but come on if anyone is dumb enough to reply with a "yes lets talk" then you don't want to hire them anyway. lol

Recruiters are basically real estate agents. They just keep showing new people the same product until someone buys.

Is your personal email easily accessible?
Are they trying to poach you and take you to a direct competitor?

Most recruiters reach out to me via LI. The ones which email me are generally from India or some such place and its obvious they sent the same email to 1000s.

In my experience, I'm not the kind of candidate they can place, so they tend to avoid me. Nothing personal, it's just business.

LI is normal. Work email is not.

But I've had it happen.

Honestly, that's how I got into tech. A recruiter recruited me when I was a recruiter.

I hate how many reach out to me to offer their services. Yes, I am looking to hire 2 AEs. No, Iโ€™ll do it with our in house recruiter.

And here I just get the usual Tuesday bombardment of immaterial lead lists and confusing cold emails where I don't know who the company is or what they are trying to sell me. Sigh.

Hahaha.
One of my company's recruitment team had called me the other day to ask me if I was interested to get a great sales opportunity I can't refuse and it appeared that she was hiring for the same exact account I was working at! :)
