Based on my recent job-hunting experience over the past six months, you
are completely incorrect.  Most of the job ads on Craigslist were direct,
for example, and that's how I found my current job (not to mention my
previous job five years ago).  The Python job board also mostly has
direct listings:

Nevertheless, many companies do use recruiters, though I'll recuse myself
from voting on whether BayPIGgies should allow recruiters.

it's about treating strings as sequences of characters.  The fact that
characters are also strings is the reason we have problems, but characters 
are strings for other good reasons."  --Aahz
