Totally disagree. Recruiters usually can't divulge the names of their clients. Besides, why shouldn't you respond to a good job posting no matter where it comes from? However, I'd add one: sanity-check the job posting. Nothing turns off developers faster than a posting written by a recruiter who doesn't understand what skills he or she needs to find for the job. And make sure spelling and grammar are correct. Should be elementary, I know, but I've seen far too many postings fail in these respects. > > - avoid the terms: ninja, pirate, jedi, rockstar, "eat and breathe > ____", etc. I'm OK with one of those.
