Headhunters for Sales and Trading?

Disclaimer: I already tried the search function. Now...

I have heard a lot about headhunters contacting <span><a href="/finance-dictionary/what-is-investment-banking-division-IBD"><abbr>IBD</abbr></a></span> analysts to try to fill Associate roles in <abbr>PE</abbr>.  How does headhunting work for market makers at a <span><a href="/finance-dictionary/what-is-the-bulge-bracket-BB"><abbr>BB</abbr></a></span> trying to move to a <span><a href="/finance-dictionary/what-is-a-hedge-fund-HF"><abbr>HF</abbr></a></span>?  If you could lend some insight that would be awesome. Thanks!
 

There are a ton of them, its not dissimilar from banking.

There is a huge difference befor a recruiter and a head hunter.

A head hunter finds you because you are a rainmaker.

Fair enough. Does anyone know of any recruiting agencies that are well regarded in S&T? In before google it.

 

They'll end up contacting you usually, but they don't only get in touch with senior people.

They are flooded with resumes of experienced sales and traders and actually might filter you out in favor of a stronger candidate they know. Would recommend you network directly with key insiders at the banks/brokers.
