Molotov cocktails, mustard gas and, for the semi-civilized ones, bullwhips. While I have worked with two recruiters who rose to the level of honorary members of the human race, by and large, there is a reason they are called "pimps" on Wall Street. More recruiters have screwed me out of work than have gotten me work. Most of them are less ethical than used car salesmen. They will spam your CV all over creation hoping for a bite from a fish, and they get preposterous payoffs for "knowing" you. They almost never listen, they provide little value to any of the parties concerned, and I am looking forward to the day when this job role is obsoleted by software.
