I have a friend who successfully interviewed with them, know of another person who did and I went through a first round with them. From what I understand, first round is mainly fit / experience. Met with two people there on a team that was hiring. They asked about my resume and deals. Was friendly. I was told that their hiring process can take a long time even though my friend said his was only about 2/3 months because of a serious RX need at the time of his hire. I didn’t receive any more interviews as far as I remember but was told to expect some like behavioral psychometric exams or stuff like that and some other fit/technical interviews. Maybe even a modeling test. The main emphasis of the differentiation there may have been that they like to have candidates do psychological assessments from what I remember. Most of this info is from 2017-2019. I hope this helps. Best wishes and good luck :)
Any more insights that you remember on how they split up teams? Are there like, equity activism/distressed/sovereign teams?
From what I remember teams seemed to be based off of the senior partners there. It’s like there was one pool of capital somewhat and only a senior partner could like draw from that pool to invest in a transaction/deal/investment/etc. it seemed like each senior partner had a support team to help them find, analyze and present/discuss investments with that pool. For example the partner I believe that I was interviewing with (though I only met with his team) focused on like activism like Hess and other industrial/energy/utility names potentially from what I remember. My friend who had the shorter hiring process said he worked with a brand new partner the firm brought from York to focus on distressed at the time. I’m guessing that like Jesse Cohn / the tech activism is like another team
How'd he get the interview? I don't think they post online. Looking to confirm if it's purely via networking or via on-campus.
Also would be interested to hear more about this.
How do they recruit in London?
Same as the US, always a couple slots for MBA summers but vast majority direct from other buy side shops depending on strategy
Thanks! Any headhunter specifically?
I recall someone on this forum mentioning that reaching out to them cold won't work as there's a policy not to engage
Sed minus et minus ut cum vel fugit debitis. Eum sint fugit quasi quas assumenda ut. Et enim vel placeat molestiae ratione non veniam. Cupiditate nisi quis veritatis unde repellat quo dicta ratione. Reprehenderit ab esse deserunt harum. Qui delectus magnam magnam sint.
