Anyone have good experiences with specific recruiters or recruiting shops focused on placement in LS consulting, especially at more senior/BD-focused levels? I constantly get spammed by them on LinkedIn but don’t want to waste my time with one that’s flighty or biased to put you in a role to just fill a spot

The more senior you go the more trust you need in your recruiter. Going direct should also be considered if you know who you want to work for - this is how I got my current role. Certain firms seem to have more of a chance of being asked to fill senior spots or the relationships to advocate for you at LS firms - KRS, Aspida & Greybridge spring to mind. Occasionally you will find that one recruiter places lots of people at say IQVIA - if that is a destination you want that is the sort of exception. Feel free to DM for any specific recs as I have spoken to that wild inbox list last year when I turned open to recruiters tag on LinkedIn (not the dorky open to work tag) - if you really need a new role consider it.

Very senior, and they’re all ghouls - the above included.

Really.

Seriously. I’m not kidding.

That said I’ve only ever truly trusted Michael Tal Sharon. He’s as real as you’ll find.

👋 to the ghouls. You know who you are.

Not a good experience - but still sharing. I was reached out to by one for a potential placement. The company that the recruiter was trying to place me for, wanted me to help with specific business development opportunities. The recruiter never really tried to understand my experience and also ghosted me mid discussion 🤷🏻‍♀️
