I am struggling to cut through the bullshit and talk to the people that can get me the job I am after. Agree with everything you say, and have been through it all myself!

Recruiters should know this. * No, that obviously bogus CV with no internal consistency at all should not have passed screening. * If I had time to sift through every Tom, Dick and Harry who is a keyword match to part of the job spec, I wouldn't be using a recruiter in the first place. * No matter how big the world is, the leading authorities for certain technologies are known. Frequently for the people doing the hiring, personally. It's called a "community", and wild missrepresentations of someone's role in that technology are more than lame. On the flip side - YES, every once in a while, one chap knows his/her business and is worth the fee. They, above all others, should be very, very angry at the vast majority of clowns that give their profession a bad name.
