  I tends to stay off these agencies and search online classifieds instead. Maybe the nature of my work dun require much assistance from recruitment agencies.

  ya, stay off RE! i was once made to wait 45 minutes for this guy, as though he's some big shot.
  
  jobsdb is relatively good, but still, it does contain quite a bit of job agencies advertisements too.

  How do u define good/bad. Whether big or small, so long as they can get you recommendations for a job in as short a time is all that matters. Y u bother abt their reputation? If I were u, I'll approach every single one of them.......... Not kiasu but putting all my effort into landing myself a job lor.......!
