Mar 19, 2021 at 12:18 comment added user3067860 @M.Stern Yes, it is a thing, the OP is specifically asking about that. I edited to clarify that it's not just personally delivering your e-mail address to them, but all of the ways that they get it. Recruiters function like any other spam mail: You have to give someone your address for legitimate reasons--like so you can apply for a job--but then they all share contact lists with each other and your information gets spread far and wide. And they're sending mass/robot e-mails, so they can send a LOT of e-mail. My own apply-for-jobs inbox confirms this.

Mar 19, 2021 at 8:20 comment added M. Stern Is that actually a thing? Do you give your e-mail to recruiters? If so it's only a small amount of recruiters, so how will more "just show up"?
