In my experience it depends on entirely who they are.
You need to be able to have a short conversation with them and be willing to do so once you've put your resume on line. Develop a couple quick key questions you can ask them to see if they really place people with your qualifications/line of work/location, etc. What I'm driving at is that you can often ask some pointed questions innocently enough- but tell if they even read your resume, or if they've placed anyone like you.
I've had a couple recruiters contact me for jobs that were over an hour away.
I had one contact me and say "oh, we placed so-and-so at your location, do you know him?" yes
I had one recruiter get me an interview at an outfit that didn't result in a job, but the interview was good- I would have declined it anyway.
I had an interviewer ask what I make, then tacked on like 20 grand which obviously would be way out of line for what I do.
It just depends.
