I have always suspected that a lot of these agencies' advertised jobs don't
actually exist anyway, but are just "bait" to get people on their books.

Call me a cynic, but every time I have tried to apply for a specific vacancy
through an agency, I just get a generic "cv"-type phone call.  I would then
say "yes but what about the specific position I was interested in", and then
listen to them fumble around for lame excuses... "oh someone else is dealing
with that one, and we'll get back to you..."

Stare at their ads for long enough, and the same ones come around again...
