I'd take that with a grain of salt if you (personally) only have worked in the Valley, where the job market is probably overflowing with developer positions, or NYC.

I've had one recruiter call me (at work no less!) and:

- He told me that he knows my company is a PHP shop, which it's not. We are almost 100% Perl and have never worked in PHP.

- He tried to entice me to pass the offer along to other people in the company, which I find very tactless.

- It was only for a 3 month Python job at ADP.
