#72Wouldn't it be easier to produce a list of good recruiters?
It would be a short list - and you need the list of bad domains to do email filtering.

#73I'm going to take issue with one of the companies on his list, Riviera Partners. I worked with this company for several months last summer (Hey Matt!) and, in my dealings with them, they were utterly professional. I hate recruiters in general, but the guys at Riviera were the definite exception. First, their list of clients were very top-notch. I did a number of phone screens and on-site interviews with companies I w…
I posted my experience with them elsewhere here ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3678767 ) but it was basically the exact opposite of your's - extremely unprofessional the whole way.
Sucks you had an unpleasant interaction with them. I worked with them quite a bit and never got that. I did stupidly take an interview from a recruiter called Jivaronic or something. That was pretty bad.

#74I happen to work for one of the firms that is listed in this post. It is so funny how people like to talk smack when they are anon. I think that is ironic that is I were to rate Soffes on his track record, he'd get a C+ maybe...hasn't held a job for more than a year and even when he worked for himself, he lasted less than 2 years...I am not saying that there aren't some Awful recruiters on this list, but obvious Sam has a axe to grind, because that are obvious some well respected firms on the list. I will be sure to add Sam Soffes to our internal list of AwfulCandidates!
