Where you see condescension I see a recruiter being genuinely helpful by clearly laying out expectations for what will happen during the presentation and how it will go. Some of that stuff might seem obvious for some people, but my experience is that if you don't provide info like that, then you'll get people that show up completely unprepared, presenting the wrong info, unable to handle questions from the audience, etc. And I think letting that happen to someone is doing a bigger disservice to the candidate than possibly offending their ego by giving them too many directions.
