I know it's proper etiquette to send a thank you note as a follow-up after a job interview and/or job offer from a company. Does the same rule apply if you were initially interviewed by a staffing agency?
A recruiter met with me to find out if I would be interested in a couple of prospective openings with other companies. Do I need to send her a thank you note for meeting with me? What is the norm for situations like this?
Thanks for the help!

It can't possibly hurt, right? Go for it - they'll think better of you, most likely, and that can only help your chances. Good luck with the job hunt :)

I just interviewed with an agency like this, and I sent a follow-up email saying thanks.
After saying thank you, you should be in touch with them every week via email or phone to let them know your status and ask about job leads. Recruiters can get really bogged down with all their applicants and you need to stay at the top of your list.

It doesn't hurt.
Typically thank you letters are sent to employers who interview with but if you want to endear yourself to the staffing agency, by all means write a letter. ;)

The staffing agency needs you more than you need them. They need qualifying candidates to send to their clients. No thank you letter is necessary.

Yes, because by sending that thank you note you are putting yourself in front of that person and reminding them of you! Therefore when they are ready to hire, your name will be the first on their list! Send a thank you note and remind them of your attributes!

You don't have to .. but it gives you an edge over the other guys/women that didn't do it. Good Luck! :)
