Manpower was a pretty good recruitment company. My recruiter seriously hustled for me on this one particular job and I sincerely believe it was his enthusiastic endorsement of me that got me the interview, because while it was a job I could do, it wasn't something I had direct experience in. He had me come in for a pre-interview where he critiqued my answers, which has been helpful in every interview I've had since.
The only thing is, when I didn't get that job, my recruiter fell off the face of the earth. He never came back to me with other opportunities, and the jobs they have tend to either be very highly skilled or grimly entry-level, with not much in between.
