I have lately encountered a few headhunters that are little better than spammers. I posted for a position in NC, my cover letter makes it clear I am only interested in that general area. Yet I've had about ten recruiters sending me email about positions in DE, MN, TX, etc. Some of them don't even address me by name and are filled with so much hype that it reads almost like spam.

That said, I have gotten all of my jobs through recruiters or personal reference from someone I knew inside the company. Seems like most HR don't have the time to sort through the mountains of responses they get to an ad.
