thanx for taking the time for writing this comment.
well. in general, at least for me, IΒ΄d like more transparency and speed: I don't want to spend time - be it 5 minutes or 45 minutes to tell every recruiter what I do, what is my skill set and what I am looking for ( actually I am not looking for anything at all - you contacted me because you think I fit to a specific position..) I have my LinkedIn and xing profile and they are updated. if something matches well, let's discuss it, and tell me immediately the name of the company.

More in general - sorry for being maybe too blunt - I don't see much value added by the current recruiting system. If the recruiters are just promoting jobs that are already available on multiple sources why to bother - If I am looking for a new position, itΒ΄s very likely I googled around and made some research.
Different story if the company itself prefers to go only with the recruiters' channel - then it could make sense, but again, in that case, I would be likely already in touch with just one or two recruiters that would contact me whenever something really matches - and could tickle my curiosity.
