I agree that this sucks, but you need to keep in mind that the recruiter works for his corporate clients, not for you. If helping you would cause him to lose his contract with his biggest customer, he'll make the obvious choice.

It was not a big company. I was working for a small-ish family owned business.

They had, maybe 20-30 employees.

This was the end of the final email exchange between myself and this recruiting company.

Clearly, the bottom line is that clients pay XXXXXX and talent does not. It belittles us both to pretend that it's really about ethics or loyalty.

I don't maintain business relationships in which my interests come last and I don't do business with the dishonest.

Again, please, lose my number.
