I'd say that there certainly is a place for a thieves' guild in the 4L, but I don't think there is one active right now.

There are very few 'permanent' guilds in the game, per se. The way this mud is evolving, everything is handled in the clan system. Everyone starts out as the leader of their own clan, but there are a few clans that are setup in the game as permanent. There is a clan for the city governments, for the noble houses, etc.. Just the major organistations, really. There is no clan specifically for thieves, to my knowledge.

I guess you're looking for a recruiter because when you start out as a thief you don't have very good skills, so maybe you don't think you could be the head thief? Well, my advice to you would be to try and form a sort of loosely bound gang of lowlifes. Maybe you could form up for protection, to wreak havoc on the government, or just to pester the well-off. There are lots of reasons why a group like that might form.

I know this sort of thing has been attempted in the past, but what happens is when the players get themselves killed, the organisation dies with them. There was one in particular that I remember that called themselves the 'Black Spines.' They even made a webpage about it. Too bad they're all dead now. But who knows, maybe seeing this post will prompt the creator to revive them. In any case, if there is to be a thieves' culture in the 4L, it's up to a player to create it.
