Recruiting firms can be a great way to outsource hiring projects. They will find the best employees for your company. Interviews, background checks and other legal matters can be handled on your behalf. Don't delay expanding your company because you think it is too hard to find someone.
I believe you mean recruiters. Look in the telephone book under "Armed Forces Recruiting or Marine Corps Recruiting".
The best explanation I have ever read about this comes from FEP Search Group. Read this Related Link below carefully: I spoke to a Recruiter from FEP Search Group once and he explained it in simple terms: they can only work with about 5% of the job seekers who contact them. Recruiting firms get paid to find the 'perfect' person. Remember: Yale rejects 99% of the students who apply. Does that make Yale a bad university? No! Yale is an awesome university because they only accept the top 1%. Good recruiting firms are the same: they only work with the 1% of job seekers they can actually help. Sometimes it's easy to get angry at a recruiting firm that doesn't call you back, but you have to remember: you are not paying them. Overall, you should send your resume to every recruiting firm you find (as long as they are well established) - but don't hope for a call back or get angry about it. Another suggestion is to try posting at the other Related Link below.

Companies that recruit IT professionals use recruiters that are well-versed in the field, have worked in the field and very often are themselves former IT professionals. If that's the case, prepare a professional resume and CV and forward it to the HR department of the nation's larger IT recruiting firms. Go to www.business.com and do a search for "IT Recruiting Services" to get a list of related companies.
If you mean older attorneys, it is highly variable depending on the firm, although most established firms will have at least middle aged attorneys. If you mean attorneys specializing in legislation regarding the elderly, it is unlikely that most firms will have such specialists.
No, they are always recruiting.
