Pros

None. If you are a business don't use these guys they gossip and your name will get around. Same advice to candidates.

Cons

Executive management and recruiters gossip about companys they are actively recruiting for. Recruiters gossip to me and about me to other colleagues. Candidates aren't secure all their information os shared around. Just not trustworthy, honest, transparent or good to work with. Told not to give candidates feedback ever to make them more keen.
