How do I get recruiters to stop calling me? I work at a V30 firm and receive emails every week from recruiters. I haven’t responded. So now I’ve started to receive phone calls which are just annoying and some callers are deceptive (they say they want to talk about a matter and try to schedule another call). Do recruiters just comb through law firm websites? Is there a list I can get off of?

I’ve started not answering my phone, unless I know who is calling

I don’t answer my phone for this reason. It’s only ever recruiters or some kind of sales call from someone that doesn’t understand how law firms work (I have zero authority to change our firm’s document systems ffs).

If the emails bother you, IT can probably help you block the recruiter’s domain.

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years. Forgive my ignorance but is this normal/standard? Do people actually answer these honestly?
