So I was just on my school career website and saw a posting for a large headhunting firm, which got me thinking. What exactly do headhunting firms look for in possible headhunters? Is it a plus to have banking experience? Or is it a safe bet to just go straight for such a career?
I'm still interested in finance, but the personal interacting, presumably fewer hours, and large pay are all pretty attractive for this job...
I'd say banking experience is a plus as you'll be able to recruit higher quality talent and have a deeper network. In fact, I've seen many headhunters with previous experience in the industry.
Brian from M&I - new blog? BIHH
Love the picture.
Jumping to the Dark Side - IBD/ER/HF/PE -> Headhunter/Recruiting? (Originally Posted: 04/21/2014)
Hi all,
I've seen this very rarely done, but does anyone have any insight or opinions on moving over as a headhunter/recruitment consultant from IBD/ER/HF/PE?
It seems like this career path is least-trodden, yet the pay scales pretty well from what I've heard. Very little information on M&I as well.
Also, looks like a lot of these positions require two-year analyst programs.
Thanks in advance!
i did a shit ton of linkedin stalking on people who worked at firms like amity, HG, henkel seems like most of them all do a stint in IBD- usually M&A, or a top coverage group it's mostly women in my experience- don't know if that means anything
hrm...I mean I guess the hours are better? Absolutely no insight...
the hours are definitely better if you went to a target/semi target school, im positive you must have some alumni who work there why not ask them?
