Asking Headhunter for Introduction
Quick question for those of you who are going or have gone through the Pre-MBA PE recruiting process.
I am a first year in M&A at a MM bank in NY and have had preliminary discussions with headhunters over the past few weeks. I have been in talks with about 10 in all, and am focused on MM PE for a Summer 2012 start.
I am interested in a couple specific funds, which may not be on their target lists. What is the best way to bring this up with them to make the introduction? Should I reach out to one recruiter (my "best" one) and ask them to introduce me? Clearly doesn't make sense to reach out to all at the same time, then flood the sponsor.
Let me know if anyone else has gone through this. Thanks.
honestly, if you're talking with 10 headhunters, you should be able to cover all the shops.
might be a bit aggressive to ask the HH blatantly for specific shops that you know they don't have relationships with. Also, it depends on your shop and your group... it's one thing for someone from GS to request a meeting,... it's ientirely different if you're from RBC
I would just ask the recruiters when you're speaking with them - say "as you know I'm casting a wide net, but there are also a few funds in particular I'm interested in. Do you ever do any work with X, Y, or Z?" Then let it go from there.
