How about Carisbrook, Omerta, and Tandym?
Options Group best in my experience
Any aspect you would highlight? Does it help connect with the right opportunity/person or does it help with other stages of the process as well?
I like omerta group and options group. No experience with other two.
Thanks for the color. Does it help with the offer negotiations as well? Or more like scheduling interviews only?
Never tried to meaningfully negotiate an offer beyond comp. But a good hh will communicate expectations and maintain consistency on both sides (what are a candidate's expectations, what are the firm's expectations) around all aspects of an offer including comp, to keep things running smoothly. They should also be able to provide detailed information about the firm/hiring manager/role beyond generics like 'it depends' or 'we'll see'.
If you're targeting MMs for PM roles, why in the world do you need a HH?
It's extremely transparent who the contact person/department is. Why not reach out directly?
This. You are too junior to be targeting PM positions if you’re asking who the recruiters are. The in house BD teams should be recruiting you
How much sign on do you ask for excluding deferred?
None, sign on is meant to cover the deferred you are leaving on the table.
Head hunters would say that they had lots of value add, but without going through with it, it doesn’t seem quite obvious what the value is. On the other hand, if you pick one HH for representation, you kinda stuck with it
Anyone familiar with Anson McCade? How is it?
Be very careful. There are some recruiters who are shady as hell, and will tell your current firm that you are planning to leave in order to get an exclusive mandate for one of their upcoming roles. And given the timing of when a lot of people start looking for other roles, it can really screw you over come bonus season if your boss thinks you’re about to bounce the next week after your bonus check clears.
