On: “I've had to relearn coding to get through the new interviews”

I very rarely respond to recruiters cold emailing me, but if it had NO LEETCODE in the subject line I'd probably respond to every single one.

Same here. I ignore all cold emails or mark them as spam. If I saw something like NO LEETCODE in the subject I'd be likely to read it. If it sounded like a reasonable place to work I'd share the job with my network.
