RECRUITERS HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE JOB MARKET IN YOUR TARGET AREA THAN ANYONE

IT recruiters specialize in the information technology job market. They have informed, third party opinions of most, if not all, of the companies in your target area who hire IT professionals. They even know companies who might not advertise extensively, or are unlisted. Since they have developed professional relationships, many companies will continually use the services of a recruiter rather than spend valuable company time and money scouting out new hires on their own. Therefore, without using a recruiter you might miss out on a lot of opportunities that are available only at recruiting agencies.
