Recruitment: Fishing in the same pool

Burge: Associate talent pool is shrinking

How much activity, relative to historic levels, is there in the private debt recruitment market today?

At Walker Hamill we have covered debt recruitment for just over 17 years as an addition to our long-standing private equity business. Whilst we cover debt across both the buy and sell-side, over the last four years the majority of our mandates have been with debt funds, with the most significant and sustained increase in recruitment amongst direct lending funds.
