Laura is a true professional. She strikes the perfect balance of supporting and challenging you at the same time. Having experienced Executive Search headhunters previously, what really makes Laura stand out is that she genuinely cares for her candidate, the role and the business she is working on behalf on. This seems like a simple point, but her authenticity and passion shines through at every step. I would wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone looking for or being approached by her for a new role.
Private Equity/Venture Capital Recruitment
What is the Private Equity and Venture Capital Industry?
Providing funding and business support for start-ups and scale ups, PE and VC companies have a portfolio of clients who they work with to maximise growth and make a return. Private equity investing involves lower risk with a longer return horizon, whereas venture capital investments carry higher risk and the potential for higher returns. This is a very competitive market, with many businesses looking to identify the next unicorn and create rich returns from their investments. Investments will range across a number of sectors, with some choosing to become specialists in certain verticals such as Edtech, Fintech and Proptech. Other sectors include Climate tech and Ai which is top of a lot of company’s requirements from investors.
How does the Private Equity and Venture Capital Industries work with recruitment agencies like ours?
Both types of business look towards recruitment agencies to recruit C suite candidates and will work with well-connected recruitment agencies to hire the best available talent, from both passive and active databases. As many roles are brand new, agencies will work with clients on a consultancy basis to form the perfect brief to help identify the best candidates. Getting the right hiring strategy when a company receives investment can be invaluable as making the wrong recruitment decision can have significant cost implications as well as lost time and lack of growth. Recruitment agencies for private equity and venture capitalists will give invaluable insight into the marketplace and ensure investment from recruitment is made from informed decision making.
