Recruitment

Talent for
Private Equity

We recruit the interim executives, integration directors, and value creation leads that sponsors and portfolio companies need, for roles that have to start as a deal closes.

Who we place

The roles we recruit for in Private Equity

Permanent, contract, and interim, matched to the consequence of the role.

Portfolio Company CIOs and CTOs

Technology executives who lift digital maturity quickly and report against an investor-grade baseline.

Interim Executives

Operators who carry a critical role from the first day while the permanent appointment is made.

Carve-Out and Separation Leads

Leaders who stand up independent systems and exit transition services agreements on time.

Integration Directors

Directors who bring acquired businesses onto one operating model, one set of systems, and one reporting line.

Value Creation Programme Leads

Leads who turn a 100-day plan into governed delivery and close the gap when it slips.

Technology Diligence Specialists

Specialists who test whether a transformation thesis will hold before the sponsor commits.

Hiring in Private Equity

Why Private Equity roles are hard to fill

In a sponsor-backed business every appointment is measured against the hold period. A role left open for a quarter is a quarter of the value creation plan lost, so an interim appointment often comes first and the permanent one follows. Carve-outs need leaders who can stand up independent technology and exit transition services agreements on schedule, and roll-ups need integrators who can make several businesses operate as one. Searches are often confidential until a transaction is announced. Candidates are judged on value delivered against the plan and on readiness for exit.

Our practitioners have led this kind of work in private equity, so we assess candidates on what they have run and against the pressures the role will carry.
