I find the opinions expressed here surprising, actually.
I've found working with Recruiters very helpful -(both as a candidate, and a hiring manager).
As a Candidate - they do most of the work for you: they look for possible positions - often in places you never thought of, give you useful tips for your resume and for the interview, and (esp. the smaller firms), follow up - giving you feedback.
All you have to do is sit back and wait for the damn phone to ring...
Note: my experience is from outside Canada. My experience with Canadian recruiters, so far is limited.
