    Found my dream job advertised today and I am going to apply but I just have one minor detail to overcome.

    I have to email the recruiter to get the application form. The advertisement does not list the recruiters name but from the email address and a quick Google and LinkedIn search I know the persons first name.

    Should I use his/her name when starting the email or just stick with the standard sir/madam.

    Does it show some sort of initiative to find out the name or is this frowned upon?

    Thanks in advance.

    Use the name.

    I would not recommend using dear sir/madam.
