The tech industry is heavily reliant on the recruitment model. Its actually a great model, how many people can say there is an entire industry out there dedicated to getting you hired? But it has its underbelly. Spam, lowballing, misrepresentation, and some of that results in a lower than expected best match scenario for filling positions. I agree that many developers dont want to deal with the noise of job boards, and that may be a sense of hiding, but its also a sign that a high percentage of recruiters are not selling you into a good job, they are just resume bombing a hiring manager they have no relationship with, have never talked to and will probably never fill a seat. These kind of shops are to be avoided like the plague and only reinforce bad hiring practices because they submit consistently low quality candidates for positions which the candidate does not match.
