Basically all i am saying is if you pay a recruitment firm (usually between 3-10k) for their role in seeking out qualified programmers, you bloody should atleast get a background report on that person and a clear understanding of what they do and are about.
Some firms just forward resumes on with a note attached? thats not good enough, re-structure the resume etc to validate points of requirements... as for that amount of money i don't want to read an entire resume and then cross-reference it with my own points per candidate? There however is one good recruiter, his name is Anthony Chadwick from i think it was Greythorn; This guy grills you and churns you inside out and leaves you saying "i'll do better i promise".
