Agreed. But when you need a job you apply for all the jobs you can find. Those 50 agencies represent over 50 jobs that I feel I have the skills for and would like to do. It's more a measure of how flooded the market is with applications when most recruiters don't read most CVs that come through to them. And I agree, if you can find a good agent, stick with them. However, it's been over two years since I dealt with a "good" agent (my last one ran off with 4 months of my wages), and so I'm having to find a good one all over again. Mailing my CV out to all jobs ads that appear to fit the bill is part of this process. Still, no matter how bad the market is, if you've got the skills, patience, and a little bit of good fortune, you'll find a job.
