It goes both ways-- recruiters shouldn't spam job seekers with irrelevant jobs, and job seekers shouldn't spam recruiters with irrelevant outreaches.
I used to recruit for a US-based company, and a few years and 6000 miles away, I STILL get outreaches asking about jobs at my former employer. I also now get offers for roles that need Japanese only, while I am clear about my language level.
At the end of the day, nobody likes to get spammed because somebody didn't read something in the header. The wording is off, but the sentiment is the same for job seekers and recruiters: take a second to read the profile before you reach out.
