What does everyone do with all of the recruiting emails? I'm getting at least two a day, six is my record so far. I just lateraled less than a year ago and love my current job. And if I were to look, I would contact the recruiter I worked with before. Does everyone else just delete, or are we supposed to reply back to be polite and not burn any bridges? I've started recognizing recruiter names and created rules so that the emails automatically go to my spam folder.

Recruiter here! A few points:

First, I try hard not to email candidates who lateraled in the last 12-14 months so I’m sorry people are hitting you up.

You don’t need to respond. I always appreciate a response but it’s not expected!

If your bio is broad, I like when candidates respond and tell me exactly what they do. That way I can tailor future emails to their specific area.

I recommend saving well thought out emails for potential future use. Just put in a folder.

Hope that helps.

This is really helpful. Thanks for the tips!

It's really weird, I started getting emails my second week at the firm. A lot of the emails aren't even addressed to me directly, and some are for positions that have nothing to do with my practice area.
