There are recruiters who represent reputable agencies. With a few questions, you can discover which is which.
* They will ask you in for an interview BEFORE they ever send your resume anywhere.
* You will approve any company to which your resume is sent.
* Confidential job searches remain confidential.
* They will offer benefits and personal service to assist you in your career.
Yes, I have become a recruiter, since the hours suit my family life better than the tech writer positions I was finding. Try adding a "no recruiters" note to your resume, if you wish to avoid agencies.
