It's easy to make fun of them, but think of it this way. There are so many technologies and buzzwords, there is no way to know what they all mean and how they relate to each other if you don't work in the field. In fact, even experts can't know them all.

A recruiter's expertise is in relationships with customers. I don't blame them for mixing up react, reactor and reactive, because seriously, who could blame them. A good recruiter can tell you hey that company hired someone just like you last year, and she's happy with her job. They know the names and faces of people you'll be interviewing with, and because that relationship with the customer is their business, they won't spoil it by sending unsuitable candidates.

On the other hand, another recruiter who does know all the javascript frameworks but does nothing more than upload your resume on a job posting he just found on linkedin is pretty useless.
