Not sure I’m following. How do you know that they are doing this? In general HHs aren’t going to “jam up” your resume because some HF says so (even if a large client). Also, unsure why the HF would do this, they fired you, if they wanted you they wouldn’t have done that. If all of that is true sounds like a crappy place. But there are many headhunters and funds out there (and the large funds won’t use headhunters) so, unless a pretty niche area, I’m a bit confused by this.

Happy to help you wage war on those fucks

  1. Are you a quant or not?
  2. How did they get hold of your resume? They made a fake one or you actually give them your updated one?
  3. Make a new updated resume ASAP.
  4. Call up reputable recruiters, explain your situation (say a past, shitty, smaller, recruiter took an old resume and pushed it around). Ask how they can work with you. Look for recruiters with direct connections/communications with the hiring manager (they have worked together in the past). Be VERY careful about giving anyone your resume (make sure you emphasize "b/c of my experience that I just shared, I am extremely hesitant to share my resume ", etc) 
  5. Hustle for elite single managers, Network like Crazy. 

Please DM me the your previous multi-manager so I can also avoid.

 

Only heard of this happening on two occasions:

1) Employee crossed some lines by a mile
2) Employer was the biggest fuckhead I've ever heard of and had connections 

So... Is there more to this story? In any event, might be time to relo cities if you're getting blocked this hard.

Just had my trade dispute rejected by Schwab for a loss of 35k. This single issue alone should be a gigantic red flag to anyone who trades on their platform. If they have a system error, and you do not video record your trading (they actually said this), they will not honour their fuck up. Switching everything away from them. Fuck this company.
 

Fair enough. Sometimes people are fucking assholes. I'm sorry this is happening to you man. Seems like you have a few options:

1) Relo to another city, same industry
2) Change industries. same city
3) Fight through by sidestepping HH's and network your way into something 
4) Incorporate a business and claim you created a "start up" for the resume gap, come back in 6 months. Assholes generally give up after they find a new person to hate.

I have definitely heard of cases like that. Imagine what it would take for your boss to say "the guy is such an asshole that i will make sure he'll never work in the industry again". My prior is that either you've done something horrible or your employer is a douche.

I have a friend who lives in the country, and it's supposed to be an hour from 42nd Street. A lie! The only thing that's an hour from 42nd Street is 43rd Street!
 

Seen this too, and they often do succeed at keeping people out of the industry. Some single manager shops have the view that once you're in, you in stay in forever unless they take you down one day. It's like the mafia. Influencing headhunters seems pretty amateur, but they can sue employees for made up reasons and keep them busy in legal fights for years.
