Headhunter Intros Dress Code
Are people wearing suits to HH intro conversations in 2023?
Many banks have strayed away from business professional attire and since many of us are sneaking away during the work day to meet up with these HH, we’re pretty much stuck wearing what we wore to work that day.
My office is VERY business casual and I would even say that I dress a bit more professional than others but if I showed up in a full blown suit on a random weekday, it would be painfully obvious what I’m doing lol.
Suit and tie imo. Have you had head hunter intros yet?
Scheduled one later this week. Yea would've went with suit and tie as a default but wanted to at least see if people have seen shifts in what's acceptable
Are you an incoming analyst?
For virtual intros I did so many that stopped caring. Doing them a favor by speaking with them - wore a t shirt and hat to my last one before getting an offer.
Yea virtual intros are definitely more relaxed. I feel like in-person is a better opportunity to make an impression and make up for some not-so-strong points on your resume. I’ll probably wear a suit lol damn
In-person: suit and tie
Virtual: suit no tie
Maybe you could get away with less but if you show up looking crisp they will notice and appreciate the effort, and why would you not want to put your best foot forward. Present yourself as an adult, a candidate who takes first impressions seriously. Do not present yourself as some devil-may-care Zoomer who has just now given them one reason why you might not be a safe candidate.
I feel like pre-COVID, it would’ve been expected to meet headhunters in suits, but now business casual is the norm.
What headhunter is this? Why are you meeting now?
It’s Amity. I’m not an incoming analyst, I lateraled nearly a year ago so they’re likely meeting with candidates who can take their clients not hiring for 2025
