I would see your point if they didn't all use the same high-pressure sales tactics. Good people have ethics in what they do, regardless of what their job is. I don't overpromise and then nickle-and-dime my clients on support issues with my freelance work, even though freelancers have that reputation. I've yet to see a recruiter grow a spine and not use manipulation to place people in jobs they may not want just to keep their close rate up.
