As a contractor, I worked with the same group of recruiters for well over a decade. They were always forthcoming with who and what. I had only one problem in all that time and that was, in effect, my stuff-up. I had my resume in for the same position via my normal process and also via one directly to the company in question. I hadn't taken notice of this and when I found out, I apologised and withdraw my direct application. In that particular case, I didn't get the work. But I attributed that to my failure. Otherwise, I found that working with the specific recruiting company to be beneficial to myself with them getting their ongoing cut of the business.
