Maybe I've just had bad luck, but in my experience recruiters have proved to be a layer of unwelcome misinformation.

Depends on the recruiter and industry. Its pretty easy to figure out the jokers from the professionals (simply by asking "Who is the hiring manager?" will a lot of times show you who is who). No doubt the big firms are typically loaded with jokers.
