I would agree for all interview requests. If my skillset does not match the actual job, in the interview I would straight up tell that your head hunter is shite. Clean the system.

Like any other "profession", there are good and bad. Most sales jobs (head hunters are salesman) pay by commission and that explains their behavior (behaviour?). Free email and VOIP makes it much easier to bomb the senders of resumes, so the signal to noise ratio suffers.
On the other side, there is an HH here who is very active in the developer community, sponsoring developer workshops and such. Sends out a newsletter with general information along with job listings. Have sat in his presentations and they are very professional and career informative, not sales sessions. They obviously make their money by placements but seem to remain professional and are for developers only. I once told him that I was not interested in a job, find me a position.
My most recent (contractor) client would have nothing to do with head hunters for the reasons listed by other answers here. I think most good gigs are found via networking. Nepotism works best.
Since I have reached my "twilight of a mediocre career", I don't need such.

I don't pay any attention to indian recruiters. It's an insult to have to talk to them (obviously outsourced) after being the victim of outsourcing myself.

I'm very curious to see what else will show up as the water level drops. This seems to be an unplanned archeological event.
I wonder if we'll see renewed proposals to divert water from the Great Lakes to the southwestern US.

What? No concrete overshoes? Have they no respect for tradition?

Easy one to start the week.
Overusing it can be dizzying (11)
