I'd definitely recommend staying away from temp/placement agencies.  We've had some terrible experiences bringing people on through these agencies.  (Well, we DID have one good experience).

For the most part, they seem to troll monster.com and the like for resumes and then just regurgitate them back to the employers for a 20-40% of a years salary for a finder's fee.

My 2 cents,
Joe
