To attempt the argument that there are bad developers in comparison to the amount of bad recruiters is weak. Less than 50% of developers are actually incompetent whereas more than 90% of recruiters are useless.

I'm a Tech Recruiter in London and I work hard to keep myself in that 10% bracket and I blog regularly about the horrible state of the recruitment industry. Most of the arguments on this page are valid and the large brush we've been painted with is deserved.
