Headhunters in general - what are pros/cons of using their services? What types of shady practices do they engage in?
I have always used a more traditional networking approach to job hunting; however, several of these folks have contacted me. I am curious to know whether any of these folks are actually useful, or if I should steer clear of them.

Have you had any of the shady shite like when they'll send you an Excel sheet to fill out asking you for the names and contact info of your co-workers and also your superiors? They are just trying to populate their databases. I had a friend who took a low-level job at a big firm. Literally, his only job was to think up schemes and call up places to get info like that via guerilla campaigns.
Just realize they'll always blow smoke up your arse about how good you are, but it rarely means anything behind the scenes.
