So I'm interviewing now for a couple of jobs, and have a very good candidate sent to me by a headhunter. She's top 10% of her class, summa, a few years out at a big firm, done interesting things, clearly a good candidate. The headhunter she is working with tells me about eight times, over the court of three phone calls, how "presentable" she is. Headhunter is doing nothing but selling me on her appearance.

Fucking patriarchy.

Conf: to GGG: As the only one to have seen you in a work environment, I think maybe there's another explanation? Headhunters see everyone as a potential candidate. Maybe he was reminding you that appearance is important, and you might want to update your wardrobe?
