Curious if anyone could provide a bit more insight on them. I know they are primarily west coast, but do they represent any decent east coast firms / east coast offices of west coast firms? Also anyone have a idea of their client list the past couple years? Thanks.

They're a solid recruiter, mostly west coast as you've noted but will handle other offices for firms that have main HQs in places like SF e.g. they are the main recruiter for AKKR (at least for jr-level) and run processes for both the Menlo and Atlanta teams. They will also have a handful of mandates for firms in places like Texas and I've even seen some 1-offs for Chicago/NYC. Mostly MM and LMM shops with a spattering of family offices, credit funds, and corp dev opportunities here and there. If you're a relevant candidate just ask to be put on their email list.
Love them. They're so great to work with. Very humane. Don't make you feel like shit. Are very transparent and kind even when something doesn't work out; no ghosting.
Same with BellCast and Gold Coast (at least for me)
Lot of good and down to earth people on the team
Landed an offer for a firm they cover and it was great working with them.
Echo the above for Bellcast. Not nearly as much experience working with them, but still enjoyed them
Probably my favorite HH to work with back when I was recruiting for PE behind CPI - very pleasant people.
CPI is terrible
CPI will always ghost you and give no context / feedback.
Dude the worst by far is SG-- just from a pure competence perspective; not "mean" per sae but kind of the Joe Biden of headhunters
CPI gave off a very judgmental vibe and they ghosted me after I responded to their outreach for a relevant role.
Didn't get a role from them but seemed like a good team.
What funds do they cover in NY?
CP sends me multiple buyside opportunities, but I have never heard anything back after the intros. For one of the roles they sent me, I never got contacted for an interview, but a few months later, I got an interview with the same PE shop via another HH. Not sure why this is, as I usually get interviews via HHs with a fairly high rate. I'm wondering if it's because CP tends to focus more on west coast candidates, as I'm based in the east coast. Anyone else have this experience?
Have had this same experience. Had an intro call and then was told the firm they reached out about wanted to interview me and I’d be speaking with x person. I said that day wouldn’t work for me, as I was traveling for a funeral, and never heard back lol. Saw the same opportunity two weeks later from another HH and just laughed.
Maybe that’s part of the game, but I ultimately had much better experiences with Henkel and Amity.
Agreed, Henkel and Amity seem to have stronger relationships on the east coast. Carter Pierce team is the nicest overall though.
Professional enough, but will send you every single opportunity they have (even if its within a geo / sector you said you aren't interested in), and won't communicate well once you display interest in a particular firm unless they decide to interview you
Carter Pierce is by far one of the more pleasant firms to work with... definitely have less of "sexy" list than CPI and definitely more in the LMM/ MM / Growth on the West Coast type of thing
What firms do they work with
Easily the best recruiting firm around town - genuinely kind people with good etiquette, responsive communications, and some great clients.
Stacey in particular has been awesome to work with for many years.
Can’t say the same about folks like Ratio - horrible.
Ratio is ass
Have had very pleasant interactions with their team & they are great to work with for MM opportunities.
Great to work with. Very nice people. Have been invited to multiple super days through them. Definitely more of a focus on MM West Coast firms, but if that's what you're after, they are a great resource.
Agreed with all of the other posters comments. Very helpful and communicative. They’re also arguably have the deepest bench of hot recruiters…
Very solid HH, only have good things to say. Very communicative as well
