I made this to scratch my own itch. I wan't to be able to tell recruiters that I am not interested, but instead of repeating myself, I now can drop the link.

I'll also add the link to my social media profiles (linked.in and xing).

It is a rather simple page, you are welcome to contribute translations [0].

What's really shocking is that I've never once had an acceptable experience with a recruiter that has reached out to me. I've taken over 40 interviews this year in a variety of fields.

I've had a much better experience and indeed received offers when applying to an ad or application posted on Indeed, Linkedin, Angel.co or the company website.

Recruiters can be annoying, but they're also just doing their jobs. I think it would be better if you collected some templates for politely copy & paste point out why you're not interested on the website. If people don't back off, you can still send something that's worded more strongly.
