Recruiters have one goal: fill their open orders at whatever cost to the candidate they can. That recruiter now won't respond to my voicemails or emails -- the one who ambushed me about a direct hire position that was 100% opposite of what I am looking for; when he lied to me over the phone about what it was, to get me to come to the agency office to prep for the interview. Once I found out what the reality of the role was, I said NO WAY on the spot. As punishment, I assume, he won't return my voicemails or emails. Pfft.

Recruiters. They're like dandruff. Scaly and irritating and the only way to get rid of them is to use your Head & Shoulders.
