A Recruiter is someone who finds skilled candidates for employers and job seekers. They help bridge the gaps between these two parties by pre-screening candidates and keeping employers' expectations in check. 

Recruiters are paid based on placing job seekers in jobs, but they do much more than that. They help candidates write their resumes, prepare for interviews, and negotiate salaries. On the employer side, they can help companies write job postings and give employers insights into the labor market. This knowledge allows them to advise employers on things like salaries and skillsets that the labor market offers. 

Recruiters generally work in an office setting. However, you may be expected to work outside of traditional office hours. Jobseekers that currently have jobs may only speak to you outside of work hours, which means you will often need to take calls right after 5 pm, just as everyone else is clocking out.
