I've dealt with them before. They didn't seem any sleazier than any other
head-hunter agency (of course that isn't saying much). I didn't get a 
job out of them, but I did get a free trip to Las Vegas.

A general piece of advice for anyone dealing with head-hunters:

1. Don't ever give them your work phone #.

2. Get an answering machine (to screen your calls).

3. Don't let them pressure you.
