While you should never ever give up your own private search methods ie job boards, website searches etc, adding multiple recruiting firms to your arsenal will get you a lot more opportunities.

When I left my last job and took a long break when I decided to get back into the job market, I pretty much exclusively used recruiting firms. I picked out 5 that were focussed on my industry and skill set, and within the first three days I was averaging about 3 interviews a day.
So they take money from you or do they cost the company extra? or does it depend on the company?
