These suggestions work great for corporate recruiters who are actually
working directly with the hiring teams.  The staffing agency recruiters
(especially the ones who do hit and run job posts to user groups without
following the lists they are on) are simply hunting for candidates based on
criteria they have been given - usually by a sales rep who sold to the
hiring team person on getting their agency's help.  That said, they may be
working on PHP job one day or maybe for a week and then working on a
Sharepoint job and a Oracle DBA job the next.

Agreed on this too. We should mind our manners.. myself included. Whether
it's
a "great" posting or not, we all benefit from having employers actively
hunting to hire people on this list.

That said, for recruiters out there, I have some suggestions:

*  Learn a little about the list. Following the policies (which Nancy made a

good shot at) is a good step.

*  Track the other postings on the list and where they are in terms of
skills
and compensation. I can't imagine that a recruiter would skip this for
competitive research reasons alone;

*  If possible, bounce the posting off someone you trust in the field. I
don't
mean spam random contacts, but show the listing to the team it's going to
and
collect feedback.

*  If members of said team are on the list, have them post it. I'm much more

likely to read and potentially pass along a job post from [any one of ~40+
contributors] than some random recruiter.
