My theory is probably wrong, but it is possible that this article is a way for the author to signal his skills&#x2F;worth&#x2F;value. Someone with low skills and who&#x27;s desperate to find a job is highly unlikely to publicly complain about the amount of attention he gets from recruiters, so by actually doing it, he signals that he has high value.<p>But I do believe the more likely explanation remains that this guy got angry after getting harassed repeatedly by recruiters and decided to do something about it.
