One of my favorite recruiter stories is how one once sent me an unsolicited anonymized résumé out of the blue (spam, basically).
It turns out it’s not exactly hard to figure out whose résumé it is. I reached out directly, interviewed them, and hired the person.

A bit more detail: I originally reached out to figure out if the person was aware their résumé was being spammed out.
“No! My god that’s awful!” We kept talking, they applied directly, and there you have it.

It’s true. That’s how I met / hired @setient.

It’s also potentially dangerous. “Your résumé seems awfully familiar somehow but we’ve never met and I don’t remember your name. You must have stolen it from somewhere…”
