IMO, recruiters are loathed on both ends. By the agency, because they overhype every candidate, they really dont know the business and will not be around long: Next stop, insurance sales or mortgages!!! Hated by the creative, because of the points above.
If you are relying on a recruiter, you are simply doing it wrong. You have every tool a recruiter does, and the advantage of representing yourself and what you'd like to do. Get off the job boards, and get out and start meeting CD's and Design Directors and start doing good old fashioned portfolio reviews. Once you get a handle on what the recruiter marks you up at, undercut them by 10 or 20% if you have a hard time closing work (you'll still make far more). /endrant
