I've encounered about 1/3 of them and they never result in any sort of gig, interview, lead or otherwise.
They just spam your phone, your email, and try to appear to be based in localities or countries that they aren't actually in.
They're pushy, impatient, love to haggle agressively and don't want to pay anywhere close to your true worth or the going market rate.
There are many theories on here about what they really do with the information they glean, but whatever this is it doesn't seem to be for the purpose of finding 'you' a new contract.Leave a comment:

They also pretend to be from UK by having western names etc - and then during interview some dude on very low quality line is calling and asking u stuff with broken English There is no way they will get you any job at all - so talking to them is just waste of time (it takes at least 30 secs to hear what they want to say , so its 30 secs u wont ever recover from being lost...)Leave a comment:

"Hi, my name is XXX from a recruitment company..."
Think they are starting to realise we're onto them. He didn't like it when I pointed out I refuse to talk to someone unwilling to give me their company name.

Indian lady from Bluepace called today from a UK mobile number. Line very faint. Left a voicemail and later an email too.
The voicemail gave her mobile number to call back on omitting the leading zero. Bit of a giveaway.
The email didn't have a phone number in the signature
Looked up her name on Google and its unique.
She's a recruiter for a few organisations and location is Pune, India.
On LinkedIn it is UK (obviously).Leave a comment:

I guess that explains why the recruiters are trying to 'complete' on CVs that are a poor match for the role, but have rates that are within the desired range.
If they're motivated and paid only for the number of CVs with lowball rates they can harvest, that would be one explanation for their pushy behaviour.
Compare this with real agency behaviour and motivations. They don't put anyone forward for the role if they don't have a reasonable chance of winning the gig. They will even put forward exceptional candidates at a higher rate to get the client to re-consider their budget. Good contractors with staying potential will continue to earn them a commission. A reliable supply of good candidates at interview will maintain the agency/client relationship.Leave a comment:
