I never heard of it prior to the LinkedIn message they sent me a few days ago. Looking at the employees on LinkedIn, I assume they're based in Kosovo.

I received a LinkedIn about the family office position as well. There aren’t many favorable comments about them on previous threads on WSO

bump

Stay away…

So shit lol.

Currently regretting reaching out to one of their recruiters… ended up not being interested in the searches they were running and now they are spamming me and calling me at random times with roles that I’m not at all interested in.

I’d avoid.

Resume collection farm like Selby Jennings. All they really want to know is your current firm and comp. Echoing the point that their operation is situated outside of the US. Further, I have received calls from them at the oddest hours (~3/4/5 am). They are also not shy in spam calling as well … This to me demonstrates a lack of IQ/EQ and not cognizant of time zones. Best to stay away.

They are absolutely not worth your time. They pretend to be a global recruitment firm but they're just a bunch of conmen working in call center in Kosovo. They have a universally negative reputation across the Street for being unprofessional and deceptive. Many banks, hedge funds, and asset managers blanket refuse to work with them. 

Please stay far away from them and Selby Jennings. A bunch of scammers. They never have mandates. They just have "bait" jobs to get you to hop on a call and disclose your info. Basically farming for data. They always start the calls first with where else are you interviewing and what is your comp? They do that so they can send resumes to the place you're interviewing at, basically increasing competition for you. Very scummy organizations. Definitely is used for some secret money laundering operations. The only thing they're good at is recruiting decent looking girls to bait dudes into giving their info away. 

I interviewed with a BB which SJ and AC said they have mandates with. The HR of that BB said she has never spoken to any of these HH people. Stay far away.

Yup, they are brutal and should be avoided

A brief, but recent datapoint if helpful: 

One of their 'recruiters' pinged me on open PE roles. I said I was open to connecting over next few days / asked they send a few times that work for them 

Said recruiter responds with "Great - works, I will give you a call. Send your number please" (clearly a bottom bucket response. jcf, I asked for a time that works - very confusing!)  

Gave them my cell # and they then asked for my resume ahead of call (call still not scheduled on their end at this point - bottom bucket!). 

I respond by telling them I don't provide a res until post convo given circumstances of how our convo started (sending res to someone who contacted you over LI or via email ahead of talking to them = very weird!). Said recruiter then ghosted me lol. 

Punchline is they are very unprofessional and sketchy! Bottom bucket!

Avoid. Resume collection shop. Do not send them your info.
