I used a headhunter twice in my career. The first time, there was a guy in my then-current area of expertise who was pretty much the guy, and I told him I'd work just with him for three months. He did a great job by me and we're still friends. Another time, I was part of a group looking to move from a cratering firm, and the BSD in the crowd (I was just the LSD at the time) pulled in a headhunter he had worked with, who was a completely useless lying son of bitch who almost screwed up the deal and who got paid an enormous amount of money for being wholly unhelpful. Generally, the second guy had the bigger reputation in town. So, YMMV and recommendations may not be useful.

To be frank, no offence, HH or no, I am not sure how Adder seals the deal on a job search in this market (unless he has a huge book, which I am guessing from his time here, not) if he can't even get a date with the paralegal. I'd start small and work my way up.
