Good post. Seems like Pinpoint is another one
Selby Jennings is the worst of the worst.
Totally agree that we should avoid Selby Jennings. Not even sure they have the live mandates when they reach out via email or call you, but they call you about roles that are also available on the company's website.
Furthermore, they do not have a centralized database where they record candidate's preferences. What that means is if you speak to a recruiter based in Chicago and tell them not to call you before setting up a call and you are not interested in North Carolina region, you will still have a call from the NC-based recruiters. Then after you tell them you are not interested in NC region, they still continue to call you. Their approach can be described as "cannot blame a girl for trying..."
Dartmouth Partners.
^ agreed. Terrible experience with them.
HEINOUS firm
Greenwich Partners
Russell Tobin, absolutely terrible experience.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a firm fuck me over as bad as Ferguson Partners.
Some human decency goes a long way.
What happened?
Gordon Wallace / Ethos Consulting
He was useless. All he did was submit my resume through online portals and then forward me the emails they sent. Absolutely no value added. I suspect I missed out on some offers because of him.
I've started a repo of bad quant recruiters because people deserve better
https://github.com/annoyedquant/Bad-Quant-Recruiters
Are there ANY good recruiters!?
Will answer saying my own red flags, can be in any firm;
- person calls you for an opportunity miles away from your background: think quant when working in IB Cov for yearsperson ghosts you and then contacts you again without giving you any update on past process
These to me are the biggest red flags in any headhunter discussion/relationship.
Selby Jennings is such an embarrassingly bad firm
Think you’d have an easier time compiling a list of good headhunters.
Can anyone please explain what's the deal with Pinpoint? It's like a job spam tsunami hitting me with roles that are about as relevant as VLOOKUP. And when, by some miracle, I spot a gig that matches my skills, they go silent. It's like they're paid by the spam sent. By far the worst of the worst IMO.
SG Partners is spammy as fuck with all their emails. Don’t have very good opportunities either.
Getofficehours is absolutely GOATED if we want to talk about the shadiest, scummiest headhunters on the blocc though
Mercury is god awful
