Maybe if you can find a good one, but I've given up on them. Frankly, most (for candidate and company) are horrible and should've been fired years ago.

One exception to my experiences was a guy working internally at Google in Switzerland that I had contact with, who hands down was great.

I was suddenly out of a job last year and a recruiter who cold called me had me in front of a hiring manager 48 hours later (who hired me on the spot).

Very satisfied with my recruiter, worth their weight in gold. I bought them a very nice bottle of wine to return the favor.
