Recruiter here.

Due to the amount of turnover and lack of upper management effort you can "hack" almost any recruiting company. Most new recruiters have access to all internal records and are using a basic password (12345678 or password123)

It's not uncommon for recruiters to access other companies database to find numbers and email addresses.

Honestly if you have ever sent your resume to a recruiting agency your information is fairly accessible to anyone who cares to look for it. I can find cell phone numbers of most managers in the city because they applied for some recruiting agencies entry level positions 10+ years ago.
