I have never met with a recruiting company before, so there is nothing to compare my experience to. My overall experience was really good though. I felt they were really interested in finding out about my background and what exactly I was looking for. I was able to get an appointment to meet with them very quickly. And I was grateful that I was given objective advice about what the employment market looks like now and also what else I can do to improve my chances of finding something that fits with what I want.
