That's a great idea to make the recruiter actually look at your profile and ensure it indeed matches the offer. Too many lazy recruiters do a simple linked-in search and bulk email everyone who matches.

I had a "great offer - perfect fit for your skillset" notice from a recruiter recently, describing me as a "standout candidate" and urging me to apply. I read the description and replied back "which part of the position makes me the "standout candidate?" is it the complete lack of alignment in skills? (they wanted a javascript dev, I'm a former C/C++/C# dev that transitioned to BA then Product Owner for the past decade.) Maybe it's the "easy commute" of only 9 hours 45 minutes each way? (the job is in northern Ohio, I'm in central North Carolina!) Sadly this recruiter never responded. Missed opportunity. If they came back with a humorous response (e.g. "oops! That's our mistake, but let us tell you about something else...") I might have continued to work with them. Instead, I just added to my block list.
