If the hiring officer has a budget of 150k for the first year, and the recruiter charges 30k, how much are they going to offer you?

You can still negotiate to what you're worth. If you're no better than the applicants they got without recruiters then good luck, but that's why companies are hiring from recruiters, they can't find the talent on their own.
