Energy/infra headhunters
Are there any HH that specialize in the energy/infra space (not just O&G) other than the typical PE recruiting names? Focusing on NY opportunities

One-Search is great for infra PE/IB highly recommend, always very responsive if you are a competitive candidate.
Thanks! Can I ask what background you recruited from and what type of opportunity you were looking for?
Worked in a major office outside of NYC in a project finance role, they helped me lateral to NYC doing more traditional infra IB coverage at another bank without any type of downgrade and did it in the start of this covid-19 outbreak.
Impressive. Is this move decently common/doable in infra?
Just had contact with them, one of the better recruiter experiences I've had.
not competitive for PE. CIBC is not relevant in US as a bank. you need to lateral to another bank which shouldn't be hard if you're good at power / infra.
Be careful with infra groups, at some places it's a legitimate M&A group, but at many banks it's just straight project finance under a different name and you won't get any PE exits. Macquarie is excellent at infra since it's all they do. I think JPM, C and MS have dedicated infra groups that do more than just PF.
P&U will be easier to lateral into (more spots) and would get you looks from any top infra shop. Barclays, C, BofA are some good names
don't agree with this. there's very recent threads on top power teams.
Macquarie only does work for MIRA, their PE arm and rarely wins outside mandates.
JPM is not a major renewables player. Barclays is mostly thermal but living off a legacy reputation from 10 years ago.
Who said anything about renewables? That's a separate group at most banks...
lol the infra groups are much smaller at all those banks than power / renewables.
energy / infra PE takes from power teams way more often than infra.
believe infra at JPM / C / MS is straight PF and not as desirable to coverage / M&A experience that OP is looking for
(also don't immediately throw MS at me you fn moron)
I'm not the one MSing you, debate and differing opinions on here are both good and probably helpful to OP
I said in my original comment that P&U was probably a better place and more spots than infra, and that "infra" is often just PF. But at least 2 of those 3 infra groups I named are not PF (from personal experience and close friends' experience).
Energy is also a way to get to infra but only a few teams sit in NYC, doubt OP wants to go NY -> Houston -> NY when they could get a NY P&U seat. P&U is a really natural step to infra so that seems like what OP should target
think we are saying similar things in different languages :)
Hey man, any chance you would be able to shoot me a PM ? I have some quesitons on the differences between PF and infra IB.
Madison Hunt specializes in infra
from what I saw they tend to only hunt for very selective roles (call it MF tier or whatever)
know they hunted for an EB power VP role earlier
Is blue star search legit? They dropped Quantum in an outreach message but don’t know if they rep them.

Hey not sure if you are still checking this but I am a college senior heading in IB, really interested in Infra PE would love to ask you a few questions if you don't mind. Can I dm you?
I had a poor experience with OneSearch so surprised to see the favorable comments. I've received multiple messages from them on Linkedin, and text messages (I never gave out my number). In particular - Benedette reached out a few different times, each time confirmed a time and then flaked, wasted half an hour of my time. Would not recommend after multiple similar experiences. Another time, a HH from their team called out of the blue and interviewed me aggressively for 45 minutes, then introduced a role that clearly did not align with my background - very bizarre.
Agree, they are very flaky
