Hi, is it worth applying through the same recruitment agency if i have been rejected by one of their clients? Do recruiters drop you like a hot potato if you have once failed an interview?

In my experience, no. But you do have to work that little bit harder with that agency to find out if any really good jobs come through. -
Depends why you were unsuccessful ?
If you stripped off during your meeting, I doubt you would ever get your CV put forward by the agency again.
However, if it is just because of one omission or weakness, then it shouldnt be too much of an issue. The trouble is finding out why sometimes as agents have a problem with being honest and open.Comment
