Heya Dave,
I've found that some recruiters can be an invaluable resource due to the
vast amount of contacts and opportunities they may hold, especially when
looking for contract work. In the past I've dealt with a few who were
really good (and a linkedIn search shows they were promoted out of their
jobs!) in that they knew what they were doing (always a plus) and even
helped me tailor my approach and prepare me for interviews.
Of course I'll be most likely applying for more jobs directly than
though recruiters, but a good recruiter can be a win-win for employer
and jobseeker alike.
Cheers,

looking in?

Hey all,
After been tied up for many years, I'm about to once again brave
the job market. Last time I was looking for work (c2008) I ended
up wasting a lot of time with recruiters who weren't particularly
helpful (to say it kindly) and was wondering if anyone had
recruiter recommendation, or even advice on who to avoid. (Private
email if necessary).
I'm considering a few different career options, but for now I'm
most interested in recruiters that deal with things similar to my
most recent work, C#/Winforms/Office/SQL Server/Devexpress/etc.
Thanks heaps,
