On-cycle Head Hunter Story - Why PE? Why xyz industry?
Hi All, currently preparing for on-cycle recruiting and have a question about crafting stories for HH calls. I have heard that it is important to go all in on a specific industry with HH as it makes you appear as a well prepared and more thoughtful candidate. Is it a ding to quote strong interest in two verticals that are somewhat opposites (e.g. tech and industrials)? Given strong enough reasoning for both, does this still have the effect of being 100% committed to one vertical?
Thanks!
Same question. Following
also curious if you're able to say you're industry agnostic? ex: you're interested in a generalst pe fund that focuses on industrials, tech, healthcare, and financials (which is I think most MM firms)
Don’t be industry agnostic it feels weak and isn’t a leadership quality. You should know exactly why you are there and what you are wanting to do (or at least pretend to)
tech and industrials are so far apart in terms of what’s important (long cycle cogs models vs saas metrics) I’d be hesitant to say that; also they are a world apart in location and culture
also what abut industrial TMT eg motorola ?
what do people generally say then, to get into generalist pe funds that focus on many industries (for example a PE fund that invests in business services, tech, and healthcare)?
Like Leonard Green focuses on "business and government software and services, financial & transaction services, health care, and TMT services" -- how would someone express interest in that firm?
I have no idea sorry, I’ll let someone else answer
the ethos of my comment was that you should have a clear cut story and direction. For example maybe you are from Philadelphia so you like healthcare and industrials (the two prominent industries there)
or maybe you studied comp sci at Berkeley so tech speaks to you
in either case have an easy to articulate story
no worries. do you mind if I pm you? I just have one question about my story and wanted to get your thoughts
OP here - appreciate your input. In your opinion, would it be coherent to tell a story from a perspective focused on recurring-revenue business models looking more at business services and SaaS companies? Or still too much of a stretch. Thanks.
Sure
