As more companies wake up to ending outsourcing and hire and train permanent employees the less they will have a need for recruiters. A lot of companies are now doing their own recruiting as they eliminate the middle man.

It's a numbers game anyway for recruiters anyway, they spam the job boards looking for candidates and stretch potential candidates qualifications in order to present candidates to companies. If you don't work out they just move on to the next in their candidate pool, you are now old news.
