feed the recruiters?

[Martin Owens]

Well I think that you are right there,

I'd ask them not to contact you again, that your currently not
interested in a position and you would be delighted to call them back
in several years when you have need of their services.

This wouldn't be so bad if companies would just use some kind of
central tool for posting jobs.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
