We had a very similar issue. It wasn't recruiter, but a scammer setup a companyname+(inc).com domain to sell fake products. We went straight for their registrar with a trademark claim and were successfully able to get the domain transferred to us so we could redirect to our actual site. If they are hosting content that is clearly similar to yours, then a trademark claim can be successful. Then, rather than chasing down hosting providers, you only need to deal with it once. This is also a good point to spend a few hours registering any permutations of your domain that are similar enough to cause confusion to prevent this from reoccurring.

This is why the Nissan.com guy could keep the domain, since he wasn't selling cars. If he'd been using the domain that could be argued to be impersonating Nissan the car company, he would have lost ownership.
