Recruitment Agencies.....

I applied for a job trough an agency..telephone interview with the agency man first then got a first and then a second interview with the hiring company (didn't get the job but they were obviously interested)

Agency have not contacted me since but they have similar vacancies on their site - is this a ploy to get people in or do I have to speak to them constantly to remind them I am still available?
