Yes, things are done quite differently here in the USA.

As to browsing listings yourself; the issue is that many senior positions, if not most, are not publicly listed.

For a company looking to fill a senior position, a recruiter provides the benefit of giving them a set of highly qualified and vested potential candidates. For many firms, that is an extremely valuable service.

The UK recruiter/spammer agencies won't have that internal knowledge anyway, they only skim Monster and the likes.
