I'm currently about to start the process of reaching out to some headhunters in London for buy-side opportunities. What mandates do the various headhunters such as KEA, Dartmouth, Blackwood etc. have?
I know that Dartmouth covers CD&R.
Thankful for any input.

Just skimming through my old emails from recruiting days (some things might have changed in the meantime):
- Kea: EQT, TA Associates, Apollo (Hybrid Value), Searchlight, Onex, Apax, KKR Growth (Tech team), L Catterton, Aleph Capital
- PER: ADIA (Abu Dhabi Office), HIG, Marlin Equity Partners, Macquarie Corporate PE
- Dartmouth: Bridgepoint, Nordic Capital, Advent Global Opportunities (i.e. Advent's TacOpps)
- Nordbridge: CVC (Tech / Media & Entertainment / Strategic Opps / Growth)
- Blackwood: TPG, TA Associates, Warburg Pincus
Thanks so much, this is incredibly helpful. From how long ago is this info?
2020/ early 2021
Assuming you are based in the US looking to recruit in London (from the two regions in the post but could be wrong). If so, mind if I pm you? I am looking to recruit in London as well and wanted to get the process going soon.
Blackwood has Permira
Blackwood also does TA. Searchlight is being done by Dartmouth. Onex is Nordbridge. Apax I think does internallly. L Catt is Maven.
KEA also has Brookfield, some TA teams, Ares, Searchlight, Apollo PE, Providence, Silver Lake, Platinum
Dartmouth also has normal Advent (FYI the global opportunities fund is not like Tac Opps but their public/private hybrid platform...), Investcorp, PAI
Nordbridge also has Cinven and Apax
Obviously forgot Walker Hamill who have Bain, H&F, BC, Astorg, EQT
Anyone worked with any of them before? New to the market in London and not sure what to make of the HHs
KEA also has Apax digital
Who covers the secondaries space (Coller, Lexington, harbourVest, Ardian, etc.)?
PER People used to cover Coller & Harbourvest. Not sure about Ardian - they often do recruiting in-house.
Interested
Bump
What about PAI, Hg and Carlyle please?
PAI and Hg in London are both covered by Dartmouth
Anyone know which of these are recruit for early career programmes (internships or graduate programmes)? Other than Dartmouth
