About once a month I get an email from a company looking for a highly qualified physicist and software engineer. I happen to be one, yay! But the contents of the email request me do do recruiting on behalf of the company, not desire to hire me. Wtf?

What would you venture your ratio of oblique to explicit requests to recruit you?
Depends on the type of work. Cold call academic jobs (i.e., where someone I don't know, or barely know, contacts me), especially senior, used to be maybe 2:1 oblique. Rare these days. Cold call tech jobs is a slight majority for explicit. Non cold calls is totally different.

Though even with the non cold calls people can be surprisingly coy.
