Awesome tips. Indeed actually has an "Exclude staffing agencies" option on their advanced search: http://www.indeed.com/advanced_search

That's the thing, we need employers to actually post for themselves with a contact address. Your site is a form of that, where you connect with 10-15 direct employers, which is great. We need more of that on the boards, via linkedin, maybe stack overflow, indeed, startuply. However I think this issue affects larger corporations even more so, and they use Monster/Dice, how do you improve that?
1. Provide a contact email, esp. for larger companies, filling out a n page submission form is a killer.
2. Use LinkedIn and the other boards not headhunters, Dice and Monster feel like headhunter spam. At least with LinkedIn you can connect from a posting, to a company to an HR person.
Personally I would love it if Dice had a filter headhunter option, but it probably would kill their #1 revenue stream.
