It's common practice for recruiters to delete your direct contact information
from your resume and replace it with their own, so that their client companies
can't take the resume they receive from the recruiter, contact the candidate
directly and tell the recruiter, "Oh, him/her. We already have that resume on
file. Sorry, no commission for you."
