Recruiters are working, they provide a service which is always paid, either by you, your employer, or both.
Update: As a practical advice. I suggest you to ask them how they get paid, and what legal constraints they enforce on their clients (both the employee and/or the employer) once they introduce you to them (and sometimes it can even be before). Read their paperwork carefully before you sign it. Most complains come from people who did not know how much freedom it takes away from your future relation with your employee/employer.
That being said, using a recruter can be a win-win-win. The key is to accept and agree on how to share that 'win'.
