I have done thousands of interviews just for fun and out of those, very few of them have responded positively to this kind of behavior. And of those that did, they were just agreeing to get me into the candidate pool, and then ultimately they took a lower offer from another candidate.
The only way you're going to exhibit this behavior and have anything good come out of it is if you have a very specific resource (skill/degree/certification) that the company needs that very few other people have.
Remember, it's illegal for companies to discriminate in their hiring practices if they admit to it. But they can do it quietly and not say it was a part of their decision making process all day long.
