I had one brief face to face interview. The recruiters in the Colorado office who called me would tell me that they had jobs that might interest me (just to get me on the phone). During the course of the the phone conversation, they would immediately ask for my current pay rate (to "price tag" shop) & for my references (which they can use as future account leads). When I refused to disclose my pay and my references up front, those "job openings", they'd tell me, are "filled already". No decent recruiter will ask for your current pay (since that is private info) and for your references upfront (especially when no client interview or job offer is forthcoming). I am through with tacky, inexperienced recruiters.

I've had numerous encounters with the recruiters here. Pretty much most of it was a horrid experience and giant waste of time. Word of caution they ask a lot of unorthodox questions. They'll ask for places and names. Especially on other interviews you may have. They basically are using you for leads. I've had other people receive calls from them trying to get them to work for them or trying to get them as a client. And they all go off the same script. verbatim. A very long script. And they're very good at not calling you back, following through etc.
