Submission + - Staffing Agencies the curse of modern IT 1
kupojsin writes: As a junior-mid level sys admin who recently left my place of employment I'd expected to encounter a minimum amount of IT staffing agencies in my next job hunt. What has surprised me during the process however is that I've ONLY been able to find Staffing agency listings on virtually every place I search, whether it be Dice, Monster, Craigslist etc. Often search results on these sites are 90-95% recruitment agencies. I've utilized a throwaway email address and phone number (grand central) on my resume and now I'm glad I did, due to the sheer number of replies I get from staffing agencies. Does anyone still get IT jobs the old fashioned way nowadays?
