[Chicago] Status of recruiters on this list

[Peter Fein]

I'll second this, it's overly restrictive and just out of keeping with
how recruiters work. How much is the referral fee?

I've referred close to two dozen recruiters to the list/chipy.org over
the last year or two and never seen a single post.

It's not clear to me that the community is benefiting from this
policy: we're trading job opportunities (and in turn, generally higher
salaries) for beer money. It's a user group, not a drinking club.
