These people will put you in front of prospective employers. So give them the confidence to do this by dressing appropriately. Suit and tie everytime. First impressions count most.

What kind of job? Construction? Software developer? Medical industry? As a rule you should err on the side of formality.

"Recruitment Consultant" can mean anything from a six/seven figure headhunter, to a gang boss who delivers warm bodies measured by weight.

Thing is, they're just pimps and in it purely for the money. They'll put just about anyone forward for just about anything, often irrespective of whether you're a good match or not. I wouldn't stress over it too much: you can always sniff out and apply directly for anything worthwhile that comes up.

It'd be a strange situation for a company to have contracted to shred direct applications, no matter how chummy they are with a particular recruiter. Do you have anything to lose by trying?

Why do people wear them stupid bloody helmets? They look like a prick (literally) wearing one of them things.

Could point out how much money they'd save by recruiting you directly.

Good job! Proptip: it's not about whether you make a penis, it's about how big a penis you make.

If it's a bad recruitment consultant, it won't matter.

If it's a good recruitment consultant, they appearance and first impressions will matter lots.

So suit and tie.


Although you haven't given much info regarding the industry they recruit to, or the industry you're looking to go into. That may dictate a different dress code is the norm

Company I've worked for basically did this - they didn't want the hassle and wanted "someone else" to do it.

Seeing the hassle that it CAN be in some sectors, I can understand wanting to avoid it.

Also made it easier to avoid all the other recruitment consultants trying to take up people's time "yes, sure, just call this number about vacancies".

You should wear the same as you would to an official Interview. Afterall they will be passing their first impressions onto your potential new employer.
