Another data point of ridiculousness:

I fairly often receive emails from recruiters who have 'read my profile' and found me to be 'a great fit' for some 'senior ...' role.

Had they actually read my profile, they'd have found me to be a student, who's only relevant experience is as an intern, and has accepted an offer for a graduate position.

Certainly not a fit for senior anything, but it makes me wonder how far it would go if I replied OK - do companies using these recruiters get hopelessly underqualified candidates to interview on a regular basis, and still stick with them?
