It's very simple. He/she/it doesn't want to lose his/her/its job. 
EDIT: the 'it' appears because I'm uncertain whether recruiters are human.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

When dealing with recruiters and other similar creatures the proper order is: s/he/it. (One word, the slashes are silent.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have the feeling that these "face to face" meetings are so they can gauge how likely you are to react to being gouged by the agency fee.

Could be different where you are or maybe times have changed a lot, but:
Back in real life, when I was interviewing for Chemical Research positions the agency, if any were involved, was paid by the employer.
Although I never got a programming job through an agency, those that I let have my resume all had their fees paid by the employers.
Has this changed, or is it a perk for living in US ?

How much of the total amount of money that gets passed onto you can differ if, as I believe, glenn.... has been looking at contractor posts. With a contractor position, the agency is normally responsible for paying you - so the client pays them, and they take a percentage of that as "admin" and keep it, with the rest going to you. Of course, they don't like telling you how much they are getting because that tells you how much of your overall fee they are taking, which you can then ask for a cut of.

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

It doesn't bother me. I normally don't visit Insider News very often so I see no problem with someone else posting it here. I don't think it is reasonable to expect someone to search the entirety of CP before making a posting.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I don't normally visit your message and again there is CP Notification. Please ignore, it's not meant to you.
