PoachMe lets software developers get paid for the time they spend chatting with recruiters.
The recruiting industry has evolved to a point that is very beneficial for recruiters to spam a large number of developers because just placing a few candidates yields a big return for them. The problem, developers end up wasting hours of their professional time in calls that waste their time and often the recruiters is not really familiar with the position or developers skills. There is no incentive for recruiters to change this behavior it’s free for them to do this, the ones paying the price are the developers.
