[melbourne-pug] Any value in recruiters job posts?

Somewhat difficult to ascertain this in practice, but in an ideal
world I agree.

Same, to some extent, although the problem is often with HR in many
businesses - non-existent or poorly skilled HR, and especially with
smaller companies outsourcing to a recruiter is the way to go if you're
after high quality applicants. The problem is that they are almost
always way too expensive to even consider it - the standard 15% of
annual salary for the job in question adds up to quite a bit for
sometimes very little work beyond advertising/spamming.
 
Not knowing the identity of the prospective employer  up front is - in
my opinion - the deal breaker.
