Besides my transition, I have run a job transition group since April 2007 - I've met approximately 120 recruiters. Here's a tip a regularly share - to benefit both the recruiter and the candidate.
Recruiters get work by networking and calling on clients. A call to a client is an “At Bat”.
A meeting with a candidate when the recruiter is not working on a specific role is not an “At Bat”.
You want them out finding jobs, not chatting with you. Get your resume into them.
Offer to meet or to have a call to get acquainted and see if they can help you network. Many may meet you.
Trust me; if you match up with what their client is seeking, you will spend a fair amount of quality time with the recruiter.
Until then, let them go to work.
Good luck today!
