Unless you have an actual written employment contract for a set or definite period or length of time (e.g. a one-year contract with a defined start date) which defines your position and responsibilties, your position and responsibilities are whatever the employer want them to be, and they can change them at will, including going back on whatever they previously promised. Without a contract, you are an employee at will and have guaranty of a given job or position. Therefore, without a contract, you would not have any right to the position or responsibilities you throught you had and have no claim or cause of action, since the definition of your job could legally be changed at will.
For future reference: employees do not pay reputable ecruiters; the employer does. You paid someone who could not legally guaranty you anything, since they have no control over the position, etc. the employer gives you. Giving a recruiter money does not guaranty you anything.
