Do people still use headhunters/recruiters? I’m looking for one who specializes in media. Any leads appreciated.

I've never actually used one and landed a job. Every time I've communicated with a recruiter, it always feels like an unnecessary middle person who demands quick answers but never gets back to me when I actually have questions. I just apply for jobs directly or through employee referrals.
