"Equitable estoppel" just means that the court compels performance of
the contract (rather than deciding the claim is bullshit or awarding
damages).  If it's not explicit in the written contract between the
recruiter and the employer, I think your recruiter is probably SOL.
Also, in situations like this it's rarely the preferred resolution,
because it's much too easy for the violator to satisfy the letter of
the contract while providing no substantial relief.

IWBNI (I plan to do business that way), but I'm not holding my breath.
