There are some good recruiters out there. And, they can be particularly helpful if you are trying to make a field change (i.e. break into finance) when you don't have any background in it.
Also, not any job will work. Many tech recruiters don't get paid unless you stay at the job for 6mo-1yr, so there's a definite incentive to make sure the job is not a total misfit.
But, yeah, if you're a new college graduate or just making a shift within a field you are already successful at, a recruiter is probably not worthwhile.
