I agree that not all agencies are created equal, although to write a rant may turn some people off. Instead I try to look at what the positives may be and explain those in the hopes that both recruiters and job seekers 'can all just get along' :) Your article is a good one and I urge the readers to check it out. Thanks for sharing! Derek,

Good to see such a logical, accurate & pragmatic approach to dealing with agencies. Although you've been far too polite to say, there are a good many agencies our there that provide an entirely UNprofessional and selfish service, only treating candidates with respect when they can taste a commission cheque. However, take heart, since there are also a good number of professional, effective and ethical Recruiters out there as well. A good recruiter should be your trusted expert on the jobs market and when you find a good one that you can work with, that specialises in your market sector, they can make a mighty difference to your career progression. I posted an article on our website just yesterday entitled "How to get the most for your Recruiter" which your readers might also find interesting: http://www.tech-res.co.uk/downloads/How%20to%20get%20the%20most%20from%20your%20Recruiter%20-%20Candidates.pdf Excellent post Luke.
