That’s true. I’ve never secured a staff position through a recruiter. Just kept getting temp jigs until I found a full-time position by simply replying to an ad.
My advise would be to try as many different design recruiters as possible, so that more than just one person is looking for you.
Also, try some of the lesser known sites like CareerBuilder.com. You would be suprised how many design jobs are simply listed in the newspaper.[/quote]
