I keep getting contacted by headhunters asking for my help in "finding appropriate candidates" for position XYZ. Is there any point in actually making an effort to help out? I'm thinking it's a waste of time. However, some people believe it's a good way to build strong relationships with headhunters, and that those relationships will be beneficial if I decide to make a move to a different industry. Thoughts?

I have a couple headhunters I am always helping. Besides the benefit of helping friends get jobs you also build favor with the recruiters. If you ever need a job they will be more than willing to go out of their way for you.
Helping them is nothing but a win win for you. The people you refer get a job and thank you. The recruiter thanks you and you did a good deed.

Speaking of which, I'm aware of a bounty out for a TMT analyst position for candidates with prior IB experience if anyone reading this is looking or knows someone looking. Job is in SF.

Lol, the guy that runs that big LinkedIn group, right? I figured someone would recognize the position, that guy is pretty deeply embedded in the IB LinkedIn circles.
I haven't spoke with him about it, but he told me his bounty for successful referrals and it sounds pretty sweet. Then again, I've had very limited experience with headhunters/recruiters so far, so idk.
