At least, that's my bias. YMMV.

There's some truth to this, but....
If you know the market that you are looking in, HHs probably aren't worth it. If you don't know the market (either because you are moving or because you are looking for a different type of job), then a HH can be helpful in identifying places to apply and places that have openings. I would never have found my current job without calling an HH, lo those many years ago.
