Hi guys:
I’m trying to lateral and recently got connected to Henkel. They set me up for a video intro call. Is this normal for lateral candidates? Do they just put you into a database and never dig you out again after that? Thank you

It’s because of covid
Is what particular part normal - the idea of an intro call? The fact that it's video? This all sounds pretty normal so far!
Sorry to hijack- I sent in my resume through their website and they got back with a generic response saying "we are impressed with your background but aren't working on relevant searches for you right now" etc. Wondering from others' experience if this means I'm kicked off their radar/want me to get more experience, or if they're actually waiting for an opportunity to come up?
Had the same issue - sucks because I'm the most interested in a couple of their clients
Hey at least we're not alone, hopefully they'll actually reach out when the time comes. idk if you're going for HF or PE but maybe not many HFs are hiring given current market? especially at the junior levels
I think referrals are pretty important when getting in touch with folks like Henkel, CPI, etc. They usually have live intro calls with people to get a sense for background and interests.
It's because HireVue is owned by Carlyle which is a very important client for HSP.
The video interview is standard for henkel and most other firms now. If it weren't covid they'd have you come in and speak with a recruiter. It is possible you could get lost in the pile but generally when they pass on opportunities to you it's your responsibility to follow-up and make sure you're in the mix, especially given the high volume of candidates resulting from covid layoffs

I've actually had good experience with them. Similar boat as in thinking about lateral from smaller PE fund. I had a video conference…recently got a few rounds into a much bigger fund (didn't get to end sadly) that I got through Henkel.
I’ve seen bad reviews…maybe it just depends on point of contact? As with all headhunters, you have to be aware of the game they’re playing, they make money by getting placements - they aren’t dedicated to you as a person.
