i.e. They're looking for people that are competent and most of those
are already employed?

Recruitment agencies come and go, I've never used them, I've never
needed to. I suspect that many people are similar; word of mouth
and personal recommendations are more useful than having a recruitment
person scan CVs for keywords and rake in huge percentages.

99% of the time when I hear from a recruitment pimp it is a waste
of my time. I'm sure I'm not alone. (That's from both sides: from
the wanting to find a new a job, trying to find candidates to fill vacancies.)
