How reliable are external staffing agency recruiters?

If I have received an external recruiter call regarding big 4 job opportunity and my profile is a loose match (say 60% of what they are looking for), how much should I bother about the call?

The recruiter sounded extremely confident, although I know my profile would have appeared on her list through keyword search. How much probability can we place on hiring manager actually interviewing after external staffing agency call? It's been more than a day with no J.D. share even though she mentioned it will be shared and interviews will be in quick succession.

Call through external recruiter. chances for interview?

I had received a call yesterday from a 3rd party agency recruiter sourcing for PWC (market and liquidity risk), who asked a couple of questions like relevant work ex fit for risk, notice period, expected CTC (she herself inflated it), work location details.

She said that I would receive the JD and interviews might be in a quick succession. While I feel that I may not have all relevant experience they are looking for but my profile got through because of keyword search. I do have front office support experience at JPM buy side.

It has been more than a day with no JD share. What are the chances of resume being rejected at hiring manager stage? How much can I trust external recruiter words? Typical timeline for risk consulting at PWC? Any standard process?
