Has anyone had luck with using a headhunting recruiting service? I have been in contact with one, but they keep sending me entry-level positions. I know I’m only 4 years into my career, but I have to be past entry-level by now right?

I would say four years is high entry-level, early mid-level. Maybe talk to the recruiter and let him know that you're interested in more advanced opportunities?

Are you paying them for placement?

I’d feel the same way. Four years in, you’re definitely not entry level anymore. Sometimes recruiters default to playing it safe or just try to fill whatever roles they have, but it’s worth being really clear with them about what you’re targeting.
