Personally I've found recruiters people who would excel at being used car salesmen or attorneys, except for the morals part - they're lower. Here in DC they'll get $20-30K per person they refer that gets hired. Meanwhile the worker-bee is left trying to get $60-$65K as a developer because the company overpays the recruiter. So you try to change companys hoping for a $2.50/hr raise, only to meet up with a recruiter who'll get $30K off you if you do. F*ck them and everything about them. What's wrong with the recruitment industry - recruiters.
