[Self-plug] After building poachme.dev with a friend, I have personally found that a lot of people who spam really do it because it's low cost and wasting your time costs them nothing so I personally grab the standard reply message template and hit them with a

"Great. Please book a slot on my calendar and we can chat more about this: https://bk.poachme.dev/Lazaro"

I know they didn't "read my profile" or "find me to be the best candidate" so I just respond in kind... you wanna waste my time? Fine, I'll sit through your shpeill for $100 and if I'm so important to you, you'll pay it, if not, well, that's fine too.




Is this side hustle approved and sanctioned by your employer the FAA, or have you gone and created something possibly on company (taxpayer) time which means the FAA actually has an ownership interest in poachme.dev?

Not employed by the FAA... I've created something on my own personal time and you seem to be upset, you should take something to help you.


ha this is really cool - has anyone paid the $100 for a call with you, with regard to recruiting or sales spam?


Yes, and those people get my full priority.


Off-topic, tried to sign up on mobile - some strange auto scroll meant I couldn’t get past filling in my name! Happy to provide more info if you can’t repro.


That's kinda weird, I will tell you that signups are kinda limited right now since we're slowly rolling out features since we want to offer value to people.
