HH shares CV with clients without permission - how to react?
Hi, I have been in touch with a very large and known HH firm in London. I sent across my CV, the recruiter arranged an interview with a client he had discussed with me prior. Wasn't the right thing, we left it at that, nothing unusual. Fast forward a couple months, he contacts me out of the blue...
Is this recruiter being weird?
I recently sent my CV through to a recruiter for a specific role he is covering. As per my experience in the past, my expectation was to have a short call first to go through some basic questions on both sides and where he can name the client. Instead he asked for a video call, I told him a phone...

Why are headhunter firms all predominantly women?
I am not seeking to make any normative judgments, but the reality is that most (if not all) head hunting firms that focus on PE associate placement are run by women. Here are some of the statistics I have found by going through headhunter websites: HSP: 26/26 women SG Partners: 23/25 women, but one...
Headhunter Review: Parabolic USA/Carrer/LLC (i.e. Career Coach Service)
TL:DR : Is Parabolic (USA/Carreer/Staffing/Job) a scam? No. Are they a recruitment firm? Technically yes but the job ads you are seeing aren’t actual opportunities, they “are indicative of the type of role you can achieve through our career coaching” so the job listings are really...

My experiences with AM headhunters/recruiters
I don't have a lot of job hunting experiences. But for some reason my limited experiences with headhunters were hardly positive. I guess the lessons that I learned are 1) headhunters offer little added value to better prepare you for interviews, 2) don't trust them too much. The information that you...

Pinpoint Partners (recruiting firm)
Cautionary tale - i'm writing this in the hope that noone here meets the same fate as my former intern.

Greenwich Partners Legit?
They seem to have pretty good and frequent jobs, but I cant tell if they're a scam or not. Given they have this bit on the website (https://www.greenwichpartners.co.uk/recent-assign…) does anyone know if they actually placed these people? Seems incredible James Heath is doing this all solo!
Is Glocap still legit?
I knew of them when recruiting back in 2015, they were generally not helpful. I'm back in the market and it's really tough to get ahold of someone, do they still have a good client list? Their website makes it seem like they are pivoting into other areas of recruiting.
