If you are open to a better position, I would say go ahead and chat. I am happy at my position and recruiters reach out to me often, but I will still respond if something looks good. I always tell them upfront that I am happy but that for the right position I would be willing to discuss it. I also let them know what my minimum requirements are to discuss it - usually that it has to be remote and substantially more pay. I have had a few good conversations this way but currently nothing has persuaded me to leave my current position.
Nothing wrong, but don't waste their time.
You should always feel comfortable talking to a recruiter and asking questions. We know not everyone we talk to will end up looking or working with them but I would suggest if you end up looking find one you trust and use them. Saves you time in the process and easier to work with just one. Good luck! There is a lot of opportunity right now. Jobs are up 70% since January. Most firms have flexibility on location, how many days a week you will need to be in the office once things open up and some even ok with fully remote.
If you’re not actively looking I wouldn’t actively contact recruiters but there’s nothing wrong with answering the phone or responding to LinkedIn requests. Also: have your expected salary range ready cause that would be one of the first questions they ask.
