Only once did a recruiting company initially refuse to divulge to me what the client was going to be charged. That project ended up embroiled in some nasty infighting with the project manager fighting with the HR rep who was fighting with the recruiting firm that was doing everything it could to hide the ridiculous difference between pay rate/bill rate. Nothing exposes the darker side of human nature better than a bare knuckled brawl over large chunks of cash. ;)
After that experience one thing I do (if at all possible) is get the recruiter face to face, chat them up some, ask very pointedly what they are planning on charging the client for me, then sit back and watch the show. Very rarely do they just come right out and say a number, but if they break into a cold sweat and act like they are hiding the secret location of Sadaam's private bunker, be forewarned, composing elegant Java code is most likely one of the easier challenges you have in front of you...
