Why do you want to get rid of them? If a recruiter calls, I politely say that I'm not interested at this time.
Depending on the context, I may politely explain that assembler programmer and assembly line technician are very different skill sets, and that the skills don't transfer well in either direction. No, I did not make this up, and it isn't a one-time thing. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

They ask me if I'm Steve, and I say yes Then I tell them "Are you calling me with a job that pays $125/HR W2 or $210,000 perm?"
