Hi, if you were represented by a recruiter (headhunter, recruitment
consultant, agent, or whatever they prefer to call themselves) for a
potential job with an employer, would you *want* them to do everything
possible to get feedback on your resume, skills, experience, overall
application, and suitability directly from the employer after you'd
been presented?
Yes I would.

However I do recognise that the recruiter works for the employer, not the candidate and in my experience, as a rule, DGAF about candidates.

Having used recruiters as both an employer and employee over the years, and knowing a couple IRL, all I can say is that they're an utterly pointless cog in the wheel.
