Brilliant, well done! Sure to screen out the Bozos from people who may really want to talk with you. The good recruiters will get it.

Might suggest a sub-section under Job Description-- who does this role report to? (Give me their name).

Don't think any recruiter is going to give me that info :-)

Usually they claim that everything is so secret etc.

Only the awful ones that are probably worried because the job is also posted online somewhere and aren't really dealing directly with the employer.

Agreed, usually it takes 20 milliseconds on google to figure out what they work for is.

This is absolutely brilliant. The thing is, how do you actually reply the recruiters with the link? Surely it would be rather rude to simply reply a solicitation with a 'please check this link'.

What did you use to build it and how does it notify you of the submission?

and , curious how many recruiters go through this?

And that's when you stop answering their teases.

Huh, interesting. what's the feedback from the recruiters? How do they respond? This idea is absolutely fantastic that I might just as well do it myself as well.
