Odd thing about recruiters - my wife is currently consulting for a company, she has been picking up consulting work for a while. She received a call from a recruiter asking her if she was available and they were recruiting for the exact same company that she was currently with. She mentioned it to her boss and they said they aren't looking for anybody else and don't have a recruiter working for them. I guess some recruiters are just skimming old job postings on various sites. Not sure what is in it for the third-party recruiter. Anyway, I suppose the moral is just don't get too excited by recruiters contacting you, as they might not really have any connections to the company they claim to be recruiting for.
