Corporate Development Recruiting / Headhunters

Hey all,

This is a quick question to any former IB analysts that now work in Corporate Development. Is there a particular headhunter that is considered to be the best headhunter for Corporate Development roles? Did you mostly go through a headhunter when looking for these roles? If not, what search method did you find most useful?

I am currently a first year at a boutique in New York (think Moelis, Evercore, etc.) and I am mostly interested in pursuing corporate development roles in healthcare, which is what I primarily work in at the moment. I know the recruiting process for CorpDev is generally not until later, just want to get a jump on it and curious which, if any, headhunters that I should be meeting with.

Thanks for any help!
