How do you respond to recruiters who email you about a role they think you’d be a great fit for that is entry level and your currently a director? Are you honest or do you just say your not interested and leave it at that?

I don’t reply to people that are that off base bc they didn’t try very hard, however I do reply to everyone who sends relevant things to keep the connection for later.

We’ll if it’s creative circle, ignore. If you’re curious why and it’s a legit recruiter, for sure let them know and have a conversation!

Thank you!

If they are a (relatively) legit agency recruiter who I may want to utilize in the future, I’m usually honest in a real short and sweet way “hey thanks for reaching out, but that role is about four levels below my current one. Might want to modify your search criteria”

I am honest. And snarky. 'I don't think you read my Linkedin and understand my career path. This is not a fit for me. However if you have roles with XXXX title, I would love to hear from you again.'

I feel like that’s a good way to put it, not too snarky.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
