Is it normal for 4 different recruiters to contact you in a single afternoon for 1 job posting?? This is getting absurd and distracting

I got over 10 emails about an ESG role at Paul COMMA Weiss in 48 hours. Never seen sharks circle like that before

Essentially, the bad recruiters (90% of my competition) rely on public roles to make placements. The second the role goes public, we all get the same alert. And then it’s off to the races to do an email blast. The good recruiters don’t care about the public searches - we only work exclusives or non-public searches. Or don’t work any searches at all - rather, either (I) depend on referrals or (ii) develop long term relationships with candidates and wait for them to be ready.

Makes sense. I’m always letting my recruiter from years ago know as soon as I hear of an opening, and refer candidates to him. I’m sure that’s basically what you’re talking about here. Relationships are so much better than just taking part in email blasts and public posts.
