Yes, that's technically true:
You sign at 100k, they make 20% so: $20,000
You sign at 110k, they make 20% so: $22,000
No deal, they make 20% so: $0
Do you think they have much incentive to make that extra $2k, while introducing more risk, and not spending time on the other openings they're working?

Because they are salespeople. In sales, you never leave money on the table if you can avoid it. 2. Good engineers are really hard to find, which is why the companies that use external recruiters do so in the first place. Oh, and yes, external recruiters will negotiate salary on your behalf.
