I am an MBB analyst currently recruiting for PE positions in London. Wanted to ask some advice on reaching out to headhunters. While I have been able to connect with some 2-3 of the main HH firms and am having good dialogues with them, the others do not reach out to me nor respond when I message them on LinkedIn.
I do not really understand these people, I have strong performance ratings, have been doing PE DDs for almost a year now and send them my CV stating all of that, but yet no reply. Should I stop contacting them and try to go at it through referrals only? Should I try to speak with someone higher up (i.e. not the Analyst/Associate equivalents)? Or should I just simply apply to the positions they have on the website and give up trying to speak with them?
I have ~11 months on the job and prior PE internship experience, could this be because I have 1 year experience? Am also from continental Europe but my understanding was large cap PE recruiting considered MBB consultants all across Europe for the London positions.
Thanks!
would appreciate any color
London is quite different... less than a year would be very earlier to recruit. They probably target 3 years with at least 2.5. Imagine this is why you are not getting good replies.
Thanks for the reply. Aware that London recruiting is done later than in the US, but have seen a fair share of bankers and even MBB consultants moving in between 1st and 2nd year. Since most of the MF recruit from one year to the next even here in London, I imagine these people recruited ~1 year into the job? I am also asking because my banking friends seem to be getting headhunter emails left and right. Is there anything I could do to improve this or just continue reaching out?
Would imagine it's also a bit because of the crisis, haven't seen statistics but I don't think PE recruiting is back to normal yet?
