If someone took the time to look through my GitHub contributions then pitched me with a job relevant to that work I would absolutely consider them. That's exactly the kind of recruiter I would like to work with.

If it's obviously just a bot scraping emails and sending generic job requests, that's very different.

It's not even that nice. They scrape emails and send cold calls to try to get you to purchase their services.

Wait why? That seems like the high effort and high specificity thing that I'd love to get.

You searched for people who do what you need to have done, found me, looked at what I've worked on and determined I'd be a good fit and you reached out? That's the number one way to get me to want to work for you.

No, their email templating tool finds an old throwaway repo you did 6 years ago, templates its name into a form email, and invites you to join a cattle call to be whiteboarded along with the rest of the shmucks

"Work for you"? They ain't hiring my friend, they are spamming their product to your inbox, not sending a career opportunity
