Yeah.  I guess it goes to show how dishonorable people really are.  The
applicant has no incentive to take food off of the recruiter's plate,
and while the $CLIENT does, you'd think that one or the other would have
some sense of honor.

I suppose that means that an honorable company using headhunters would
not take applicants directly at all, and freely announce their name.

Otherwise, it still feels to me a bit like I'm jumping into an unknown
which could very well be a frying pan that I'd like to avoid altogether.
It's silly to me to make a commitment only to learn something that would
have prevented me from making the commitment in the first place.
