Career Resources
It's very quiet - there's a lack of attrition across the market and PE firms move much more slowly than banks to hire / fire just given that longer-term outlook. So there's nervousness about over-hiring. Add that to a lot of funds having difficulty fundraising right now.
Market is frozen
I can’t speak to other tiers but most MFs are hiring their associate class currently
Any names? Some funds are hiring for sure but wouldn't say "most", things definitely feel a lot slower than they have been in past years
Agree, my impression especially on MFs its slow / some funds even cut on Associate level
Advent, Bain, BC Partners, H&F are all hiring
literally every fund is hiring, had multiple HH inbounds in last weeks (Bain Cap, Thoma Bravo, KKR, Advent etc.)
Have heard some MFs firing associates (can’t disclose which ones as it’s a small group of people to protect privacy)
Bain
We're UMM and we're kicking off interviewing soon for September start. We're hiring fewer vs. last year's September class (team has been less busy given the market) but we're still hiring.
Buyout or growth?
think i read somewhere Hg
Buyout.
Push for other views on London hiring
I was inbounded 2-3x last 1-2 months. One MF, one growth, one MM
but on Senior Associate Level or Associate 1? I see you are Assoc 3 already
Sr asc and VP for MM
Wth am receiving a lot of inbound for top MF in buyout credit HF and growth
because you just started in banking
which Headhunter mainly?
Which recruiters are the most active?
Rumours going round that Clearlake are hiring a new manager
didnt know they have a London office
Are they hiring associates?
they dont have an office here
None of you guys watch football
Loool
My shop (MF) is still hiring.
surprising
I think we had more churn than expected so just replacing that but definitely not recruiting as much as 12-18months ago.
Bain is recruiting atm
they cut 3 people, doubt they’re hiring atm
Which level did they cut?
Do they hire at VP level?
It’s pretty standard churn. Would not expect that to affect recruiting
Do you know through which headhunter?
Correct - they are hiring 6-7 Associates for their July intake class (of which 2 got hired already)
which team
Not sure that’s correct
years of experience for the 2 hires?
Any movements seen at VP+ level (ie 4yr+ experience)?
What is the headhunter via bain is recruiting?
