Headhunters for PMs in Europe

Have had inbounds from headhunters for L/S equity platforms in London, but nothing outside. God knows why anyone would use a headhunter for the pod shops. Has anyone come across recruiters that place PMs for directional shops?

Hey cm45, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:

More suggestions...

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

To state the obvious, there are not many "directional" shops offering PM seats out there. Directional tends to be SM which is, well, just one PM.

Add junior PMs/ senior Analysts to this. Latter earn very well at some SMs. 

 

Gosh European headhunters are really ** compared to their US counterparts.  I guess the hiring in Europe is bilateral.
