I don't want to be recruited thank you very much

This repository aims at catching recruiters' communication. You can then mark it as spam, delete it, label it, or whatever else you prefer.

Features

• The gmail filter is in the repo, click and go
• Few basic command line tools to handle the list of domains
• Filters can be imported multiple times in gmail without duplicates

What does it do?

We have a list of Uk recruiters' domains, and an up to date xml file that can be imported into gmail filters. By default these filters will make the email skip the inbox and add a "recruitment" lebel to it.

How do I use it?

Download the file gmail_filter.xml and import it into gmail. Feel free to customise what each filter does.
