everyone knows headhunters, recruiters and to a lesser extent equity sales, are like car salesman... this is a cut throat business where you need to make your budget/ quota or your out - dog eat dog... i think if you feel the process has been unfair its probably best to stick out of this industry. i'm surprised you've been naive about the whole process seeing you've had nearly 2 decades of work experience and have dabbled in recruitment before.
in the recruitment business if you really treated your candidates the way you would like to have been treated, i would suspect that you would have trouble making your budget... its all about bottom line and making the sale. and to be honest the real client is the corporates - and their image wont be tarnished because of how some potential candidate was treated in the recruitment process - they are out to find the best person for the job to boost their profits, not giving out charity work. thats life and i know this only having been working for 7yrs (in the US, Australia and Asia) - so its not a localised issue as well.
i'm not saying its right - i'm just stating thats the rules of the game and you need to roll with the punches
