My first rule of recruiting for my own technical teams: don't let a recruiter be the face of your company or team. Set rules on interaction, follow-ups, etc. Insert yourself or someone directly from the team into the process as early as time allows.

Also, don't let a recruiter contact candidates on your behalf. I've seen this go sideways several times where unprofessionalism can be conducted IN YOUR NAME by the recruiter.
