One of the advantages of being an internal recruiter during a downturn is the ability to sharpen your toolset when hiring is slow. During good times, recruiters are too busy to do much but facilitate the process. As reqs drop and hiring freezes take over, internal recruiters are best served prepping candidates pools and learning new tricks. High quality hires can be the difference between a layoff and a bonus - especially if you can find a candidate that makes an immediate impact.
