In my experience (and Lazlo Bock's in "Work Rules!") most recruiters are bad, and the good ones are good enough that you should stick with them across their career. Thus in aggregate them performing poorly doesn't surprise me; I'd be curious to see a study on whether the good ones are consistently good or if it varies from test to test. That said I don't think ANYONE is going to be amazing at parsing only resumes - part of the point of having recruiters whether internal or external is to be able to have a screening call with a much larger number of candidates.
