Little "r" recruiters only have the title and not the skill, and operate in a strange binary universe where there are yes/no check off boxes. Big "R" Recruiters have the skills to assess a candidate based on their total wealth of experience. I've always operated as a Big R, and look for reasons to include people into consideration vs. exclude, and this has, I believe, paid off very well for the candidates I've worked with and the employers who have hired them.
