This thread makes me sad. We're not all evil, money-hungry idiots who can't tell the difference between Java & JavaScript. Recruiter ads are an annoyance though. Lack of company info, vague salaries, words like 'ninja' and 'rockstar' shudder

Sometimes a recruiter can provide you access to lots of work you won't find advertised anywhere on the net.

Stick your email address into our notification box on http://hackerjobs.co.uk if you want to be informed of a new site that aims to circumvent Tech Recruiters and significantly improve the recruitment process. It's not affiliated to any recruitment company so don't worry. It's a side project myself and a fellow HN'er are working on.
