What they seem to find are "professional interviewers". I even had one employee that had been placed in 5 jobs in 5 years from the SAME recruiter. He did nothing wrong, per se, since they really only guarantee an employee for 90-180 days, but I think that borders on fraud.

So, in a nutshell, I have thought about that but I just have had no good experiences using any type of recruiting company.

Do you personally know one that would not screw me that you would be willing to recommend??

A real head hunter doesnt go with people looking for jobs, he calls the person working hard at their job and opens up the idea of change. All my placements were executives not looking for change.
