Most importantly, the vast majority of jobs are found through personal and extended networks. Linkedin is invaluable for this.

I don't know of any recruiters that will sign up for finding you a job. They will gladly take your resume, but that may be hurting you. I have commented on this subject numerous times. I will look up the links.
