What do you specialize in? What's your niche? Questions I hear daily. I have made placements in pretty much every industry and let me tell you that it is all the same. If someone can recruit successfully in one space, they can do it successfully in another. I certainly have industries I enjoy working in more than others, but outreach is outreach and the ability to acquire both clients and candidates is a skill that is transferable to any space.
Agencies often will utilize "specialization" as a selling point but once the economy tips their "specialization" on its side or the industry takes a hit...guess what? They adapt and shift their focus to another.
Recruiters, don't niche yourself down. It limits you.
