I had a recruiter basically hold onto me after I passed more than one technical screen, even though I clearly did get all the way through the hiring process at either role. They were maintaining a pool of competent people.

That's why I don't answer LinkedIn recruiters anymore, unless they can show me a clear opportunity that matches my profile.

Every time I answered their bait and they "just wanted a quick phone call", it was clear that they only were interested in filling their database.

Then I get spammed by them with irrelevant automated offers forever, unless I block them completely.

If only they could crowd source/gpg web of trust such a designation.

We solved this for email by aggregating spam/not spam ratings from tons of recipients. It’d be great if we could do that here.

I’d be willing to sign someone’s (possibly incomplete) background check if I worked with them for six months.
