I have met many headhunters in my career and some of them are creeps and some of them are nice. One called me periodically for a few years and when a friend graduated from college (who I recommended as a UNIX expert) the headhunter spend weeks getting him job interviews and such. That sure beats the hell out of going to "recuitment day" and going to the tables signing up for interviews. After all, headhunters talk money. When I first started programming professionally I had no idea what the going rate was. I think that as long as the commercial stuff does not get out of hand (what is it now, 0.01% of the traffic?) it provides a useful service. If some company, say in Santa Cruz, offered a better environment and a better peice of the action than some big company, say in Santa Clara, and the big company does not want to let the wage slaves know about it for fear they would "follow the drinking gourd" to freedom, all they have to do it to add the entry: !net.jobs in their sys file. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 ihnp4!pesnta -\ 109 Torrey Pine Terr. fortune!idsvax -> scc!steiny Santa Cruz, Calif. 95060 ucbvax!twg -/
