In some big companies, the first company to get a person into the system "owns" that person. So it's in the recruiting companies interest to get as many people submitted as quickly as possible.
Another thing with big companies, they sometimes have policies that require them to post jobs and gather candidates from outside, but often they really just want to make the move internally and the recruiting companies and guys like yourself are just collateral damage.
In other words, the course of events doesn't necessarily suggest underhanded play by the recruiter.

- edster 16y agoIf we assume that the person is a real recruiter, then I would say it probably won't be a real problem. For the most part, the recruiting game can be fragile. The recruiter has to carefully cultivate the hiring managers they work with and mis-representing a resume or drowning the hiring manager in a storm of unqualified junk resumes will lead to a short career in the business. You resume might be presented without your knowledge and with your name deleted to jump on an opportunity. The old "I've got a guy, let me see if he's still available". Of course they don't want to sell the manager on a guy they don't have because if the manager becomes enamored with that resume it might mean he'll be less interested in seeing the other guys the recruiter does have. If we assume this guy is something other than a real recruiter, all bets are off.
