CareerBuilder.com and the Inavero Institute for Service Research did a nationwide study of almost 19,000 job candidates. Only 22% indicated they would use a staffing or recruiting firm as one of those resources.

So if I have this right, 8 out of 10 people who are looking for their next career opportunity are not taking advantage of the help available gratis from the staffing industry. Whether they find the next position for you or not, access to their experience and advice on how to find the right position will maximize your chances of winning it! If you had access to expertise you didn’t have but really needed, and it didn’t cost you anything except time… why not take advantage of it?
