If a Head Hunting service is doing NOTHING for ANYONE for years on end and ANYONE calls them out on it then good deal...
LOTS and LOTS of people ask this SAME question in the hiring forum over and over and are completely ignored time and time again... THIS time Tam just got sick of being ignored and so have plenty of others that just dont have the balls to ask XINDUSTRYJOBS WTF is going on?

Not really my opinion as much as it is a generally accepted rule.
I have a very close connection to a couple of the largest executive recruitment companies in the world. They place exec positions (500k pr yr and up) for Yahoo, MS etc. The number one rule (of many) is that you never, ever blame (or come across as blaming, even if that wasn't what you meant) someone or something else as the reason you have yet to find work. You stay positive. If a recruitment service sends you out to meet 10 clients (clients wont even meet with you unless your qualifications are right, so at this point its about selling YOURSELF) and none of them hire you, you know what you do??? You thank them for having given you the opportunity and look fwd to working with them in the future and meeting any future perspective employers.
NOW....if this was a board for jobseekers, I would say its not as big a deal, but this board is a mix of job seekers and employers.
Negative of making the statement: Could come across as blaming, negative etc. Its not going to make other (not that there are many in this biz, but Im speaking generally) recruiters want to work with you or look to place you as you may blame them in the same way. Also, just being negative in any way is generally frowned upon.
Benefit to making the statement: NONE (other than maybe feeling better for having vented, but I doubt that 2 minor relief outweighs the potentially negative consequences)
Honestly Im really trying to help. I want everyone to be working, making $. As an employer, Im just commenting on how the post came across to me.
