Recruiting AMA! 

I was (and am) a tech recruiter for 4 years. I’ve scaled a company from 7-35 in a year and hired every founding functional role in a seed stage startup.

Is there a universal "do-not-email" list I can sign up for to avoid recruiters?

I was constantly mistaken by recruiters for a different Linda Xie who worked at Coinbase so I replied to each one asking where they found my contact info and eventually was able to get it down to several recruiting databases. I asked each to remove my contact info and haven't received any more since

Unfortunately, it means your data may be in certain recruiting databases that scraped the internet. I would just ignore or mark as spam, and reduce where you post your email and phone number.

I just block recruiter inbound mail (as a hiring manager)/report as spam/etc.  whenever I don’t, I end up with 3-4 drip emails “just bringing to the top of your mailbox” etc. as CSO I also get shitty security product spam on top.
