The best one's I've had were direct and straight to the point. I got my current role via a third party recruiter and let me tell you, they are the first recruiter that's been upfront (literally in the first few lines of the email) about the salary range. The rest of the email then outlined the position in pretty good detail, where they same my info from etc. They even mentioned the company name which most recruiters don't, so I had more than enough details to know I was interested in at least having a convo.

I can think of a few others that were similarly upfront and went at least as far as an initial conversation.

One of the worst, that I did not even respond to mentioned something about it being a very long term contract (5-10) years which seems excessive.
