To use a recuiter or not?

I'm curious if others are having the same experiences as me when dealing with recruiters?

First, they email or call you about a job that has little to do with your skills. Many of them will tell me "oh yeah I know the hiring manager and he'll listen to me" or something to that effect. Okay, I'm interested and they say they will send your resume to the "client, company, etc"... 4 weeks pass and you don't hear back from him/her.

Point is why waste time using a recruiter? I'm at the point now where I just delete all emails from recruiters and don't return phone calls.

If some day I will be managing my own company, I will forbid suit and a tie and make it clear in a job ad. Anyone who shows up wearing anything other than what they're most comfortable in will be told to leave before we even start the interview.

How about the people who feel most comfortable in a suit and tie? There are people out there who actually like looking sharp whenever they can and feel their best then.

Better not owning a company where you or your staff deals with clients on a face to face .. Good luck getting business when some people showing up in meetings like that

Jibba that's a great look you outha go with it at work. You will gain a lot of respect from your management staff and peers.

In my office, nobody would care me thinks .. but saying you don't allow suits in your company (well, 'would') is just silly and it sounds like a recalcitrant child
