I never said they didn't work hard.

  As I don't subscribe to the labor theory of value, I don't care how much effort they put in. I care about the value of the results they produce. To a lesser extent, I also care if any of the manure that they shovel will stick to my heel. In theory, you should be able to come out ahead by delegating job search to someone who is better at recruiting than anything else, when you are better at software than job-searching, even if you are still better in absolute terms at recruiting than the recruiter. In practice... well, let's just say that specialization only works if the single best thing you can do offers positive value to the market. If your top skill is wasting other people's time, no one is going to hire you for that.
