Thanks for responding to our poll Winter! Your insight is valuable in determining how we can better attract candidates through initial contact. We are continuously working to make sure we are hitting the right target market and appreciate your willingness to network and make new connections. I hope everything is going well at your current position and I look forward to speaking with you again soon.

None of these options fits. I am most inclined to respond to an email about potential job opportunities when:
A) The description of the position matches my experience
B) The position specifies paid relocation or is located near where I already work.
C) I always respond to recruiting emails, albeit often enough to inform the recruiter of my disinterest and why. It never hurts to make new connections, however being rude about a potential position can burn bridges.
