I worked for one, briefly - it was my first job after dropping out of Uni. Bit of a shabby company, really, and I left with a total sales-career-score of -1: I accidentally sent a candidate's CV to his own company, and got him fired.
I sent my CV to an agency called Syntax, back in 1999. (I think. Could have been earlier, but my brain has been addled by beer and python.) Was in a very unsatisfactory job which was almost certainly going to get worse
( ... )
I spent my final year at my last place looking to get out of it.
The most promising job leads I had, for my rather esoteric skillset (Java development process re-engineering, rather than development itself) were two, from two different agencies.
Both for my job, to be my own replacement. One of them even got the town right, which is more than the other had.
I still get recruiters contacting me about SAP development jobs, because 11 years I briefly put the word SAP on my cv as in my first job I supported the consultants rolling out SAP across the blue chip company I was with and I was naive enough to think that looked like a professional thing to write on a cv after my first job.
That and ones with my current cv constantly bombarding me with first line support roles at about 1/3 of my current salary even though I know they have my current CV.
