Dead, thanks, i was debating on whether to call a narcissist a narcissist or not. GitHub seems to have pegged it also. That being said, I don't have the experience or expertise as either a narcissist or a spammer to argue with one. In my opinion ,They are the only entity in their bubble so anyone who takes issue with their absurdity just must be crazy not to see their greatness.<br />

When he sent the email for a 3-5 year coder in ROR to the guy who invented it two or three times and got busted on twitter. It never occurred to him to say," my bad, sorry, i should have screened my list". Oh no, the guy who busted him became a psycho for calling him out. Nothing like being a legend in one's own mind. For a real trip into the inner workings review his twitter feed. It's a case study in my opinion. Just my opinion Nicky, and my personal observation.

Sadly Meyler you don't get it since you are obviously a narcissist. You see how this only effect YOU. How do you know that when someone else sends a NON spam email they get grouped in to the lazy crap recruiters like yourself? I sincerely doubt not only your numbers but your ability to even understand what developers even do. Bravo on being the most talked about…</span></p>

Who's getting pissed off? Aw gee whizzers Nicky. I guess the 2,234 people who submitted about 4000 of your emails to recruiterspam.com that earned you the title of the number 1 leading recruiter on recruiterspam.com. Congratulations, that's an honor all of us should aspire to achieve.

<p>My last email blast to the software community had the highest open rate I've achieved in years: 35% opens. Literally one in three. Out of 29,000 emails I had 0 complaints. Complaints are very easy to register, and there is a link to register a complaint (as well as an unsubscribe) which is easily visible on all my emails. I have had not even one complaint in the last 130,000 emails. So, who's getting 'pissed off'?</p>

<p>Sandra is obviously on the side of the 0.1% who don't like being contacted by recruiters. Complaints are extremely rare. More often, people are glowingly appreciative. First of all, LinkedIn is a Job Board where people expect to be contacted by recruiters. Secondly, if they don't want to be contacted, they can opt out and refuse to provide the option to contact them.

In 10,000+ inmails I have only had a tiny number of complaints, mostly from people who were unrecruitable job-hoppers who changed positions every year. I think the whole 'recruiter spam' issue is garbage nonsense made up by sicko software engineers. And, my friends, who are some of the best software engineers in the world, people I've known for 25 or 30 years, tell me that they definitely enjoy getting job-related email.... </p> @ Sandra: I'd love the opport…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2014-04-29:502551:Comment:18022502014-04-29T16:58:13.077ZKeith Halperinhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/KeithHalperin

<p>Back in the day when it was free to email any group member, I had 4 profiles, each with a membership in the maximum number of groups... that was a great research tool. They shut me down eventually, because they weren't making enough money off me. I've even had a salesperson from LinkedIn tell me "You need to buy the highest-end product we sell, because we'll always find ways to ratchet down the value, and spending the most money is the only way to be safe." -- She was lying.</p>

<p>@Matt: It's a good article and the numeric analysis is quite helpful. My chief gripe with LinkedIn is that they overcharge and under-provide. I used to be allowed to send about 150 inmails to potential candidates per day, and now they are limiting that to about 150 per month. The problem is, even with all the information about candidates that LinkedIn provides, I still need to make many more contacts than they allow to find the best people.

<p>@Matt: It's a good article and the numeric analysis is quite helpful. My chief gripe with LinkedIn is that they overcharge and under-provide. I used to be allowed to send about 150 inmails to potential candidates per day, and now they are limiting that to about 150 per month. The problem is, even with all the information about candidates that LinkedIn provides, I still need to make many more contacts than they allow to find the best people. They aren't cutting it, as a service, any longer. It's true, most of the people on LinkedIn aren't looking, so it necessitates more effort at making contacts.... That's one of the main reasons that I used email lists, too. LinkedIn is far too limiting, despite its over-reaching claims.</p>
