Goldcoast, HSP, Bellcast, CPI, Other HHs...

For principal / vp / sr asso level jobs, has anyone gotten inbounds from any of these 4 headhunters in the last 2 months? If so, which HHs? Don't need to name the hiring firm if not interested, but trying to gauge whether there actually aren't any roles which is why I'm not getting inbounds (relatively strong background), or I'm just being ghosted for some reason.

If you have, would appreciate if you could name the HH and the level that the role is for

Idk about y'all, but SG is kind of the worst, in the sense that they will write to you and then not respond if you ask a question etc, are really difficult to communicate with 

 

I have heard recruiters will take you off the blacklist after one year, or whenever your starting bonus claw-back ends. Otherwise you will need to be released (in writing) by your current firm.
