You're gonna publicly confront this person who has reached out to you? I think you just lost a lot of goodwill from the participants of this discussion.

It actually makes me wonder how responsible you are for the misfortune you've experienced in your career.

The correct response here was "Thank you very much, I'll be in touch!" or something to that effect. I agree publicly confronting the recruiter is a bit of a strange move here, not sure what outcome they are hoping for.

I don't think it's the recruiter, but the CEO/founder. And it's not confrontation, he wanted to public offer help so I publicly pointed out he's done that before and it resulted in sitcom like results.

I doubt a recruiter is going to have the ryan@ email address over the CEO/founder.
