UK HF Recruiting

Does anyone have any thoughts on the current state of recruiting for HFs in the UK? One added wrinkle is I would be planning to recruit from the US. Is that even a remote possibility? Any thoughts would be appreciated

I don’t know about the US but the UK recruiting scene is dead at the moment

 

Is that for any particular strategy e.g. global macro or a trend displayed across all strategies?

Is this hiring trend towards more junior recruitment? Also why would you say hiring is dead right now?
