This makes me sad. It's petty vindictiveness and it doesn't help our industry. Rather than accepting that recruiters have wasted his time, and moving on, the author decides to waste even more time to get back at them. And for what? Does anyone think that the recruiter who wasted the author's time is going to reflect deeply on this and change his ways?
Rather than striking back with some ego-stroking revenge, maybe educating the recruiter on why his behavior was shitty might help more? Maybe making a general page that you could easily refer him to that explains why his tactics are disrespectful so that he can learn from this, rather than just having his time wasted? You could also refer other pushy recruiters to that page.
This isn't my company though, so the author is free to do what he wants. I'm wondering if people look at this and think "that's awesome, I can relate! I want to work there," or if they look at this and think "that guy has no problem spending time being mean to people he thinks deserve it, I might stay away."
