Dear Recruiter,
Thank you for thinking of me for the job at your company. After much soul-searching and consulting with my cat, I regret to inform you that I must decline the offer.
I appreciate the time and effort you put into recruiting me, but I have decided to pursue other opportunities that are more in line with my career goals. And by "career goals," I mean lounging on the couch, eating snacks, and watching Netflix all day.
Please do not take my rejection personally. I'm sure you are an excellent recruiter, and I wish you the best of luck in finding someone who is actually willing to leave their couch and work for a living.
Sincerely, [Your Name] -
@vintprox Who cares if they read or not. Its just like if candidates read rejection or not. I doubt they are good at writing walls of text. They have templates for everything including rejection.

@jassole lol they'll be using AI to write the rejection letters soon enough.

@iSwimInTheC this was written by one.
Use this as a template to send rejection letter to your recruiter as a revenge.
"Dear Recruiter,
Thank you for considering me for the software engineering position at your company. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your offer.
As a highly qualified and skilled software engineer, I am confident that I could bring a great deal of value to your organization. However, after reading the job description and learning more about your company, I have come to the realization that I am simply too good for the position. I have no interest in joining a team where my talents and abilities would be underutilized and unappreciated.
Furthermore, I am a bit concerned about the working environment at your company. I have heard rumors that the office is dingy, the cafeteria food is subpar, and the company culture is lacking. I am a true perfectionist, and I refuse to settle for anything less than the best.
In conclusion, I must decline your offer. I wish you and your company the best of luck in finding a candidate who is worthy of the position.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]"
