I don't feel sorry for them - they chose that profession, and most are starting to feel the futility of their job. What I'd like to see is a recruiter that works backwards: they asks what companies you want to work with, then actively goes out and see if they can form connections to get you an interview in those companies...

it will not happen.. Right now I have an interview with Tumblr in a few weeks, how did I get it if not going through their own recruiter? I asked David Karp if I could turn in a proof of concept Tumblr Android app as part of the application process. Contrast that with FB, which I am still in the Internal Recruiter shuffle..but is a holiday today maybe it will change on Monday.

That does happen. Recruiters that cultivate relationships in both directions are known as "full desk" recruiters.
