Recruiters.
I am not sure this is on topic, however.

A friend of mine dislikes recruitment agency and frequently ignores them. He works for a local council and they needed to use an agency. So his boss had a meeting with one of the guys from the agency. They were trying to get them to agree to an exclusive polciy, basically they would promise not to use/contact any other agency for 3 days while the this agency looked for a suitable list of candidates. The line "you promise us exclusivity and we will put 100% effort and man power into finding you the right person" or words to that effect. The boss responded with, so if we don't you will not give us 100%? Lots of back peddling and assurances that they would of course give 100% if they used them with out the exclusive promise.

Why advise if you are the "client" keep in mind they will bend over backwards for you and they have a budget for entertaining clients. Feel free to abuse it :P.
