They have a job and you apply for it through them or you go to a recruiter and say you are looking for a certain type of job. In the last version, they start calling/emailing businesses asking if they'd like to hire a person with your qualifications. Recruiters are always out to companies asking if they need to hire anyone. The jackpot for them is when they hire someone away from Company A to Company B. Then they call up Company A and ask if they can provide candidates for the now vacant position.

My impression was that they only want to know people who have a job already. Perhaps that is cynical of me, but in your third version who pays them if they find you a job they weren't already hired to fill.
If you give them a resume and they start shopping you around are they calling prospective employers and saying I have a great candidate for you. Give me $25k and I will tell you his name and contact info?
I know they will keep your name on file in case something comes up but I was thinking about someone who is unemployed and looking to work right away.
