Hi [Recruiter's Name],

Thanks for reaching out. I am interested in learning about new opportunities.

However, prior to further consideration, please:

1) provide a complete job description and company name. If this is a contract position, please also specify the primary project or organization with which this position would work.

2) specify the characteristics in my profile that make me a competitive candidate for this position.

3) provide an expected salary range for this position

Without clear and complete answers to these questions I am unable to evaluate whether this opportunity is a good fit and therefore cannot move forward in this process.

Additionally, please be aware that my home is in [your location] and I am not currently pursuing opportunities that will require relocation or will not allow fully remote work at least for the immediate future.

If the posted opportunity is well aligned with my background and interests, and well valued by the organization, then I think we should move forward in this process.

Of course, I understand if my standard for evaluating a potential change in my career is too onerous for some organizations and in that case I hold no hard feelings and wish you good luck in your recruiting.

Best regards,

[Your Name]
