I dunno why this was downvoted. Most recruiters have no idea how to program and thus really aren't qualified to be more than a contracted HR person / keyword matcher. Their main qualification is they have a special account on monster and dice to post qualifications that the hiring company gave them. There are exceptions, but they are rare, and they don't work for the big recruiting firms. They are just body pushers.
