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

I went only once to a recruiting agency. The recruiter I met told me I usually screen the applicant over the phone first. So, why didn't you call me? I guess he tried to imply that he doesn't respond to anyone because he is important. OK, and when I arrived, apparently there was an electronic system to call him, and there was no receptionist at the front desk. He didn't mention this in his messages, and it took me awhile to figure out how things works, and there was no one to help me. And when I sat down with him, he told I have no "industrial experience", and that he knows an employer who offers courses and I need to pay for them to gain this experience, and they are expensive. I told him I will think about it, and I haven't seen or called him again!! They don't care as long as they are getting paid from employers and not from applicants.
