I interviewed for an associate position at a mid size firm. I really liked them, but they offered the position to someone else, only giving me an answer on the status of my candidacy after that person accepted.

Is it wrong to assume that they hadn’t rejected me sooner in case others didn’t accept? If so, how can I let the firm know I’d like to be considered for future openings? I used a recruiter, should I have her tell them? Should I contact the interviewers directly?

It's probable they had a list and didn't want to chase you off. I'd also go directly to the contact and let them know you wish them the best and let them know you are very interested in future opportunities. It can only help as they know you have passion.

Things to consider:
Did the interviewers give you their email addresses? If so, a follow up thanking them for consideration and renewing your interest in future positions may be a good idea.

Keep in mind that if they use that same recruiter in the future for another position, he or she might be less likely to promote your resume as they know the firm has seen it in the past. For this reason I personally would try to reach out directly to a contact at the company. I’d be interested in hearing about others’ perspectives.
