Recruiters can provide you a group of _average_ engineers, and do not protect you from a heap of junk. If you need a 100 new persons for your call center - it's a good way. If you are looking for _Windows administrator, 100 desktops all Win2K or WinXP, anti-virus, 2 domains - it is good method too. If you are designing new software, using new protocol and have 10 patents - use other methods.
Vadim is right, such lists (as nanog) can be much more effective in finding _highly skilled_ engineers.
