What’s with all these Recruiters transitioning to “coaching?” I realize that a successful coaching practice probably brings in more $$$ than recruiting (unless you’re at the top of your game and recruiting for high level execs). On the other hand, honestly, how large is the coaching market?

I've wondered the same thing. I see career coach ads somewhat frequently and I wonder who is paying for these services. When I'm unemployed the last thing I want is to spend money on something superfluous like that. I guess the only way I'd be tempted was if someone had amazing credentials/success rate of helping people find jobs.

There are no jobs to recruit for right now.

I don’t think most are doing it for the money, they’re probably doing it because the job market for recruiters is terrible and they can’t find full time work.

There are some legit ones, I don’t doubt that, but three people I know personally who are career or life coaches are a hot mess in their own lives and have no business coaching others on how to achieve success. What business do people who have never even held a management position have coaching executives of large companies? I don’t get it, and in a lot of cases, it seems like those who can’t do, teach…

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

Here’s a question for the recruiters out there: do you want to see my portfolio?
I just started freelancing after having been FT for a long time. Top agency experience, Cannes Lions, NYC-based, DM me!

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
