If there is such website, recruiters will be out of business.
Argh - was hoping for a different response.
After a couple hours of searching I started to realize this might be a feature and not a bug.
such a website exists for VC. wouldn't be that crazy for someone to make one for HF!
A job board means every unqualified person can apply - HFs don't want their jobs publicized. They don't want to look at resume from unqualified candidates. They want recruiters to filter out the low quality candidates.
They can ask their juniors who worked at banking to find candidates in banking analyst pool, which is also where recruiters are building their candidate base (at least the non-useless recruiters)
It’s like this because the top 100 funds don’t want thousands of applications. They want to recruit from a trained and vetted base (basically branding from IVY + IB + PE). Head hunters screen from this group as one last step and then you have their candidate pool. Outside of that it’s recommendations and networking (somewhat similar pool still). Outside of that, you can email the BD people at pod shops directly but they only hire people with the above branding anyways. Outside of that, you get the long tail of opportunistic postings that occur from time to time on LinkedIn and Bloomberg jobs page (requires access to terminal) and then maybe Twitter for the odd startup. The majority of these tend to be smaller funds who don’t have the budget or notoriety to pay recruiters or top IB / PE guys what they will demand. Takes a lot hustle if you don’t fit the mold but it’s very doable. Just cus they aren’t tiger/Viking/citadel doesn’t mean it’s a bad place to work though.
If ur non target -> IB -> PE is it impossible? Just because of undergrad?
What have you found to be the best way to learn about new small hedge fund launches? I've learned about quite a few through friends / word of mouth, and have seen a handful post roles publicly, and of course have heard about some from head hunters, but haven't seen much on twitter or other sources.
