"One last tidbit, recruiters don’t read blogs. Surprisingly, Pete’s inbox has continued flowing since the initial honeypot email post — roughly one ping every 31 hours — with no signs of dwindling."
I recently switched jobs and found that simply turning my Monster and Dice profiles to public/looking for a matter of days resulted in months (and still going) of backlogged pings from recruiters. I'm not so sure if it that they don't read blogs as it is that many of them exist at the end of some weird data pipeline I don't quite understand.
Probably a lead generation system; a friend of mine just told me the same story. I'm a little surprised that these systems don't have some kind of staleness or backoff mechanism such that you're still receiving pings.
