Recruiters should respect the fact that the code you write while working doesn't belong to you. I believe what they mean by code sample is any personal project you might have worked on.

If you really want the job, You can do a quick small project with their tech stack in your free time, push it to GitHub on a public repo and send it to them.

If you don't, you can just tell them that you don't currently have any personal projects so you can't send them anything. Some would understand.

Generally. I would recommend you try to have a couple or so personal projects on GitHub to increase your chances in the long run to land interviews and jobs.
