Does anyone know if GS uses an external recruiter for their in-house buy side investing unit (eg., PE, credit, special situations, etc.)?

Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, Goldman Sachs' in-house buy-side roles, such as those in the Principal Investments Group, often involve a mix of direct hiring and using external recruiters. For specific roles within private equity, credit, or special situations, it's not uncommon for banks like GS to leverage external recruiters to find top talent. However, they also have robust internal recruiting processes. If you're interested in such roles, it's a good idea to network and get your name out there, both through internal connections and by making yourself known to recruiters who specialize in these areas.
For the Principal Investments Group, specifically, I don't have the exact details on their recruitment strategies, but networking and being proactive is key. Connecting with current or past employees on LinkedIn and attending industry events can be effective ways to learn more about their hiring practices.

From my experience recruiting for these teams - it's handled in-house across all levels!
