Email Etiquette For Recruiters
Summary
When emailing a recruiter, addressing them by their first name is acceptable, but using their full name or title can maintain formality. Greetings like Good afternoon [name] or Dear [name] are both suitable, depending on the tone you wish to convey. End the email with just your name if contact details are on your CV. Its advisable to include contact details on your cover letter, typically at the top, rather than under your name.Full Conversation
