The best way to use recruiters is to give them a few minutes regardless of the job, they have more, it's their business, and they will start pimping you out. Best job search hack ever!
I'm doing a few extra steps now
1. Tell them the company salaries are far too low, take a sample point back, hopefully a hack that raises everyone's salary
2. Getting intros to companies I want to do business with, not go work for. This has not been fruitful, but it is a recent strategy change
