Never pay and use any recruiter!

I bet most posters on this site have had recourse to a recruiter- you have never really explained how the thousands of newbie FT's would cope unless they used recruiters. My idea of a recruiter is a little studentess making a few bob by trawling profiles and introducing FT's to schools after they have collected all the initial scans- I think that they do a good job. Of course you should never under any circumstances pay a recruiter of any type.
