it is about as flattering as getting hit on by the sleezy guy wearing a leather shirt in a bar (who might actually work as a recruiter during the day). they attack anything that moves.

Unless you have capped out your salary I say use them to get the best deal. Though is there salary cap in our field?

There is more to a job than just salary. It would also be nice to not have an asshole for a boss.
A potential employer's use of recruiters is a black-mark in my book. To me, it says they couldn't find anyone through their current employees' networks to fill the job. So either their employees have no friends outside of the company, or they are being honest about the company to their friends and their friends are staying away. Neither scenario is any good.
That, and I have never had a good experience with an employer that I came to through recruiters, while having had nothing but good experiences from working my network of friends.
