Is that the same as giving you an offer?

If I had an uncle in the biz with $100 million dollar book AND he also worked @ SB AND I couldn't manage to get hired at SB or ANY other B/D without the help of a recruiter...maybe I just have to really ask myself ...do I deserve a desk.

I don't doubt that recruiters can play an important role in the hiring process.  I'm sure you all do great work.

However, there is a difference between recruiters on this board that actually add value, and those that are blatantly self-serving.

This latter group is recently becoming more and more annoying.

Any parting words from Michael Buckner when he stepped down as National Head of Recruiting?

Doesn't the entire story sound like something that should include the lines:

"Kill him Mommy, Kill him!"

"I Will Jason, I will."
