Whether they work directly for a company or at a staffing firm, recruiters are incentivized to fill job openings, so it's important to stay on their good side. The best thing you can do is develop good rapport with your recruiter.
A good recruiter searches for and screens applicants and then narrows down the pool of applicants to qualified candidates the hiring manager would want to consider. It's our job to figure out what kind of pay/benefits/perks you want in order to accept an offer. This is one of the reasons why it's so important to be honest and upfront with your recruiter. Don't expect to turn around and ask for more from the hiring manager, it won't happen, and it could hurt your chances to get hired.
While every company is different, a recruiter will typically make recommendations to the hiring manager and do their best to bring the manager to a decision and facilitate the onboarding process. Follow-up with your recruiter when needed and help him or her make a case for you.
