Crocodile tears, I suspect. Based on multiple past experiences, I'd be a little reluctant to trust a recruiter who described himself on his blog thus:

"Over a career spanning thirty years, Greg Savage has established himself as an icon of the Australian recruitment industry".

It's immodest, it's untestable, and after 30 years, it's probably a bit bloody late to start preaching the good book.

Edit: And yes, if your recruiter has an English accent, better find another one.
