-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually that is a little unfair on many employers.
Employers pay recruiters to save themselves time. The problem is that often the recruiters don't produce good results (i.e. too many irrelevant or poor quality) resumes. However it still appears to be quicker and easier than going out and doing it yourself. It saves you having to go and learn about the various communities where you might recruit, which is very time consuming. I've used the recruiters to help me get people to interview and as with most things in life YMMV.
