A simple tool to help filter recruiter spam
I made a tool for myself to act as a filter for recruiter messages. I was tired of getting vague messages and doing the typical messaging back and forth only to hear the salary was too low or the job didn't have remote.

You give a unique link to recruiters that will take them to the your form They can fill in your form (or not) If their responses pass your filters you'll get an email. If their responses fail your filters, the recruiter gets an email saying so, so they know not to bother you again. The…

In plain words
This tool helps job seekers filter recruiter messages by letting them create custom forms with specific job requirements like salary range and remote work options. Recruiters receive a unique link to fill out the form, and only those whose responses match the candidate's criteria trigger an email notification. If responses don't meet requirements, the recruiter receives an automated message explaining the mismatch, reducing unwanted follow-ups. The tool keeps filter values hidden from recruiters and includes rate limiting per recruiter.

A Repository of Recruiter Email Domains and Email Filter Automation2022 · github.com · ▲11I've found it useful to maintain email filters for technical recruitment companies so that I can separate these from my other email and review at a time when I can give them the attention required, depending on whether I'm currently looking for work. This takes regular maintenance and so I've created a repository along with some scripts for automating the filter strings for my GMail account. The hope is that others may find this useful and contribute domains to the repository. Note that as per the README, this is NOT a spam list. Recruiter email is essential for finding work. This is just to…

History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website. Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage. I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the…
