Moving Banks From a HH Perspective

Currently an AN1 at a regional boutique focused on the middle market and wanted to send my resume to the big HH. But, I was also planning to lateral whenever I can. Can I submit an updated resume to them if I do lateral to a better shop?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, you can absolutely submit an updated resume to headhunters (HH) if you lateral to a better shop. Headhunters are accustomed to receiving updated profiles as candidates progress in their careers. In fact, keeping them informed about your moves, especially if it’s to a more prestigious firm, can enhance your marketability and keep you on their radar for future opportunities.

A few tips: 1. Timing: If you lateral, wait until you’ve settled into the new role (e.g., a few months) before sending an updated resume. This shows stability and credibility. 2. Communication: When reaching out, mention your recent move and highlight how it aligns with your career goals. This helps HHs understand your trajectory and where you might fit in their client needs. 3. Networking: Beyond just submitting your resume, try to build relationships with HHs by scheduling calls or coffee chats. This personal connection can make a difference.

Remember, headhunters are there to help place you in roles that match your skills and aspirations, so keeping them updated is a smart move.
