I get a lot. And I've seen both sides of it, both as someone who was referred to a job by a good recruiter and as someone who has interviewed a lot of people referred by various recruiters. I don't mind the ones that know the tech industry and actually make effort pairing people with positions that fit them. There aren't many of those out there, but they tend to produce higher quality candidates and consequently, get their people hired. I do mind the ones that are spammers or more predatory. Just wastes my time, both as a job seeker and as someone with a hand in the hiring process.
