If it's a recruiting firm and not the end employer the former would be
my supposition.

Unless you're not at all concerned about a current employer knowing of
interest I'd be leery in responding; there's never knowing to whom they
might pass your name w/o your knowledge/consent despite assurances they
"_never_ would do that" (DAMHIKT).


They are simply filling their quota. Nothing more nothing less. They
often post multiple ads and fill the In Box to earn their fee.

Sure but warning is that you may not want to be the one whose name they
collect--I've had experience where was requested for references and/or
background info on employees when they were unaware the headhunter w/
whom they had spoken was going to do that w/ current employer and, in
fact, were assured in some cases wouldn't.
