Ok but this isn't my biggest peeve with recruiters. My biggest peeve is when they ask me to refer them potential candidates - either specifically ("can you intro me to <person x>") or generally ("do you know anyone that would fit <role>?"). Trouble is that if they are successful with the hire that could be worth $25k+ (25% of salary a good annual salary). Sorry, but to ask me to do that without offering to split the fee with me is to make a chump out of me. No one has ever handed me $25k on a plate.
