It is easy to avoid certain companies (facebook etc), but it is quite hard to avoid third party recruiters, unless you have some unique skill that is in demand and you can set your own rules/pay etc. One of the better places I worked at, used these third party firms. I tried to get them not to use those, but it was a non starter. I understand why they do it though, it is convenient for them. Same story in many, many companies. I wish there were companies that take on third party shitty firms. It would be a much better thing to solve for the society (and there is a lot of money in it too) instead of building yet another project management or photo sharing app.
