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. The tool lets you create a form with a selection of only the filters you want on there. 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.

I made a tool for myself to act as a filter for recruiter messages.

The tool lets you create a form with a selection of only the filters you want on there.

If their responses fail your filters, the recruiter gets an email saying so, so they know not to bother you again. The idea is that recruiters can never see your filter values You can rate limit individual recruiter submissions per day (they have to log in to submit) Keen for any feedback thanks! I'm especially keen for any feedback from recruiters if you do decide to use it :) cheers, dar

    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…
