Goldcoast sucks

Goldcoast has been probably the worst HH I have worked with. Constantly rude and snaky, and will continuously ghost. I’m at an EB and it’s night and day the way they treat us non targets vs the HSW kids. This past on cycle most of the people who got invites even in the top groups were from heavy pedigree - know a few ppl at top groups at GS/PJT/EVR that due to their non targets status Gold Coast didn’t give them any ints and consistently ghosted them. I know HHs make a cut, so want to place as much as they can, but the way Goldcoast goes about things vs other head huntersis night and day. I’m not sure how they were able to take CD&R from HSP, but it’s wild

Dude I'm from a non target and work at a lesser known shop and they've been great for me. Think you might just not have had the best touch point with them.

 

Fr. I’m non-target at gs/ms/jpm. GCSP was lovely and pulled quite hard for me. Unfortunately was overseas for “oncycle” but that’s aside the point. HHs were also transparent that not all firms will give me a look cuz of non-target background— it’s not the HHs fault…

 

Does Gold Coast cover CD&R? They weren’t on their client list on the registration form I thought
