As a front-end developer who recently just went through the job-hunting process I can say that, for the most part, my biggest complaint on the US side for recruiters is that they have no idea what I do for a living. Never mind the fact that most of the job postings are seemingly written by people who have no idea what the job actually is. I really got tired of explaining that Java is in fact not the cool nickname for JavaScript. I found my new job through a recruiter. He approached me and I found him to be quite good at his job. He talked with me first to get a feeling for my competency level and then suggested two positions with clients he has worked with before. One of them turned out to be my new job. I think I talked to around ten recruiters total and only two of them knew what they were doing. The others really, really needed to find a new line of work. I won't go into details of the oddities of my job hunt because I'm sure many here have similar stories. I just wanted to say there are recruiters out there worth knowing, if you can find them or if they find you.
