Recruiter Engagement Templates

Help me write messages for engaging with recruiters.

My situation:
- Current role: [YOUR TITLE]
- Target roles: [WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR]
- Target industries: [PREFERRED INDUSTRIES]
- Location preferences: [LOCATION/REMOTE/HYBRID]
- Timeline: [ACTIVELY LOOKING/OPEN BUT NOT URGENT]
- Salary expectations: [RANGE, IF COMFORTABLE SHARING]

Write templates for these scenarios:

1. Responding to a recruiter who contacted me about a
   role I'm interested in
2. Responding to a recruiter about a role I'm NOT interested
   in (but want to stay connected)
3. Reaching out to a recruiter proactively
4. Following up after a recruiter went silent
5. Asking a recruiter for feedback after being rejected

Each template should:
- Be professional and concise
- Show I'm a serious, high-quality candidate
- Include the right amount of information (not too much,
   not too little)
- Make it easy for the recruiter to take the next step
- Be under 150 words each

Also provide:
- 3 things that annoy recruiters (to avoid)
- How to build a long-term relationship with a recruiter
- Red flags that a recruiter or opportunity isn't legitimate
