Besides the commission they got for doing their job? Not generally.

I had a recruiter get me a gift when I switched firms! Haha, just a jar of M&Ms, but it was nice to receive

That’s like giving your realtor a gift when you buy a house

While that is very kind of you, absolutely not. Recruiters are grateful for YOUR relationship and being able to work with you. Also, a good Recruiter should treat you to lunches, coffees, happy hours, and extend networking opportunities throughout your relationship. Trust me...they are just happy to have your business.

Nope

Why on earth would you get a recruiter a gift??I’m working with a recruiter for a role that’s under my desired salary, and they just offered a small sign-on bonus from the recruiting company to sweeten the deal and incentivise me to take the job

I figure the fees and, if they did a great job, referrals to other professionals I know wanting a recruiter is a good payment as it can leads to more of those commissions.
