Goldcoast sucks
Goldcoast has been probably the worst HH I have worked with. Constantly rude and snaky, and will continuously ghost. I’m at an EB and it’s night and day the way they treat us non targets vs the HSW kids. This past on cycle most of the people who got invites even in the top groups were from heavy pedigree - know a few ppl at top groups at GS/PJT/EVR that due to their non targets status Gold Coast didn’t give them any ints and consistently ghosted them. I know HHs make a cut, so want to place as much as they can, but the way Goldcoast goes about things vs other head huntersis night and day. I’m not sure how they were able to take CD&R from HSP, but it’s wild
Much different experience recently; good / fair conversation and gave good opportunities
This is not new news - seems GC cares about prestige above all else
Dude I'm from a non target and work at a lesser known shop and they've been great for me. Think you might just not have had the best touch point with them.
Fr. I’m non-target at gs/ms/jpm. GCSP was lovely and pulled quite hard for me. Unfortunately was overseas for “oncycle” but that’s aside the point. HHs were also transparent that not all firms will give me a look cuz of non-target background— it’s not the HHs fault…
Very pleasant but they only gave me two megafund interviews and not the one I wanted. I’m in a top group and definitely should have gotten the interview based on precedents. I don’t know why they excluded me. Curious if anyone else experienced this.

I had this experience with SG partners when I recruited - got invited to an interview and then they called me, tossed the phone around a few times and said “sorry you’re not invited.” I landed MF and I laugh now every time they send me one of their dog shit opportunities.
Idk if SG sucks or I just deal with a bad person there. They’ve sent me two principal level roles I was interested in, had the call and she’s like ok we never spoke before let me Introduce myself, (we had spoke) and the firm and then I gave my elevator pitch. Role ended up being fake (which I called them out on, for resume collecting for once lateral does take off), second call she did the same thing, so I called her out for not paying attention first call.
Does Gold Coast cover CD&R? They weren’t on their client list on the registration form I thought
They do as of this last on-cycle
bellcast partners has also been shit - never introduced one single opportunity to me and both people i had talked/emailed with had an extremely brusque and condescending attitude.
Really? They have been super helpful with me (and my roommate). Much more thoughtful. Interesting how everyone has different feedback.
Think your experience must have been one off dude bc Gold Coast is probably one of the best recruiters for PE jobs. They are transparent about the recruiting process and gave me sound advice that I wasn't getting from other HHs. Not surprised they represent firms like KKR and TPG.
