I work in tech and I get a lot of emails from recruiters who find me on LinkedIn. What's the polite way to respond to emails I'm not interested in?
I've just been ignoring them, but the recruiter will often follow up and I worry I am being marked as a rude person when I might need them in the future. I'm currently employed and just not looking for other work, I don't want to leave a stable job during the pandemic. A lot of the messages are for jobs that aren't really in line with my skill set anyway. Should I respond to all of them with a generic polite email, or just ignore them?
I'm not marked as looking for work on LinkedIn but still get these messages.
