I have found this problem in Chicago. 100% of the time it is shitty 3rd party recruiters that are probably just trying to land interviews with their clients (the employer). Now I refuse to work with 3rd party recruiters unless I absolutely have to.

The people getting shafted are the medium income earners...
I have always said that everyone has a choice, either try and be rich or just sit and be poor. Cause the middle sucks.
Simplicity does not precede complexity, but follows it.
