PRIVATE EQUITY RECRUITMENT

PRIVATE EQUITY PROFESSIONALS

We recruit junior to mid-level professionals across private equity investment teams, supporting funds with strong analytical, commercial and execution-focused talent.

Our focus is on analysts, associates and managers who support deal origination, transaction execution, financial modelling and portfolio monitoring. These professionals play a central role in investment teams, contributing across the full investment lifecycle.

We partner with private equity firms and investment-backed businesses to place candidates aligned with fund strategy, sector focus and deal activity.

WHO WE RECRUIT PRIVATE EQUITY PROFESSIONALS FOR

We work with investment-led organisations, including:

  • Private equity and growth equity funds

  • Mid-market and lower mid-market PE firms

  • Investment-backed portfolio companies

  • Family offices with direct private investments

Each search is shaped by fund strategy, deal size, sector exposure and team structure.

OUR PRIVATE EQUITY RECRUITMENT PROCESS

Our approach is selective and market-driven, focused on identifying the best fit candidates for investment teams rather than the fastest hire.

DEFINE THE INVESTMENT CONTEXT

We begin by understanding fund strategy, deal focus, team structure and the purpose of the hire, including transaction exposure, portfolio involvement and progression expectations.

TARGETED SEARCH & MARKET MAPPING

We identify analysts, associates and managers through our network and market knowledge, focusing on candidates with relevant transaction experience and investment exposure.

TECHNICAL, TRANSACTION & BACKGROUND ASSESSMENT

Candidates are assessed on financial modelling, investment analysis and deal execution experience, alongside sector exposure and educational or professional backgrounds relevant to the fund’s investment strategy.

4

SHORTLIST & OFFER SUPPORT

We manage the process through to offer and acceptance, providing structured shortlists, clear timelines and ongoing support throughout the transition.

TYPES OF PRIVATE EQUITY ROLES WE PLACE
