I should point out that none of this happens until after a face to face interview (over an hours worth of conversation) which comes off the back of an internal portfolio review (30 mins with a couple of people usually). The test is only ever set if we think there's a decent chance of the candidate succeeding and…
I've had a positive experience working with studio recruiters when I've had the opportunity. As far as agencies go I don't know any save for a few 3rd party recruiters that may find something freelance from time to time and usually for generalist positions as far as art goes.
