Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights and experiences shared about credit headhunters for experienced hires in the UK/EU:

  • PER: This headhunter seems to be the most legitimate across private credit and special situations (SS).
  • Blackbrook: Known for handling a few decent-sized private credit funds.
  • Wood Street/Myrico: These names have been mentioned, but their relevance appears to be more sporadic/random, especially for fixed income mandates.

For more detailed experiences and additional recommendations, you might want to check out the discussions on Wall Street Oasis.
