Is the recruiter internal or external?

If external: might be the company doesn’t work with external recruiters. If so: approach company directly yourself

If internal: either company website management or recruitment are a bit asleep. Or both

Some people know how to post a job on a job board or company site, but either don’t know how to take it down or are just too damn lazy. If it is still actively listed, apply. Doesn’t hurt.

It could be an “evergreen” position, they’re always accepting resumes but don’t currently have an open position to fill.
Some companies use this when they have unexpected surges in need (people leaving, or new work coming in quicker than forecasted)

Might need to add that there are good external recruiters in the field, whether or not called headhunter.

It’s just mind boggling that some of them there are people that think they can just push your details around…

Thanks for the insights! The company just announced a hiring freeze and all corporate roles have been paused.
