There's a trade secret in the recruiting business in that it's sometimes not about the quality of the person but the quantity of people they present to certain clients. Every recruiting company is based on this principle - most of them want to just grow their client base to increase their numbers to "sell us" to their corporate clients. That's how they make their money.
Some of these agencies operate extremely poorly and really do not represent the job seekers well at all. In my experience, I actually did the better job in representing myself having developed certain other skills in marketing, sales, communication etc. There is maybe a small percentage of recruiters that actually do their job properly, by negotiating and acting as a good intermediary. It's because of this that I don't send my resumes out just because they ask for it. I actually ask what the opportunity is first before I give any information out.
