I&#x27;ve left my LinkedIn profile open for this very reason.<p>It&#x27;s also given me another axis on the graph.  I&#x27;ll routinely get email from a recruiter about a position, which I&#x27;ll ignore because I&#x27;m either happy where I am, the job isn&#x27;t a total fit, or you see the typical signals that their comp is out of whack.<p>Then, a week or two later, I&#x27;ll get <i>another</i> email about the same job from a <i>different</i> recruiter.  Now I know the target company is having some trouble.  Are they flailing about?  Are they using multiple recruiters for some reason?  Pay too low?  Hiring criteria impossibly high? Is the place a black hole for developers?<p>Now I have more information to work with.
