In the last of our Interim video series, Victoria Johnston looks at trends and forecasts in Private Equity. After investment in tech transactions soared to record highs in 2021, the market suffered a dip in 2022 and 2023 due to high inflation and recession fears. But did this deter the PE optimism about the tech sector? And what do we anticipate for the remainder of 2024? PE activity will be robust across several sectors, with notable investment surges in AI, infrastructure, healthcare, and health tech. At Catalyst, we have a pool of seasoned HR professionals from various sectors who are currently driving growth-related change or are ready to embark on their next assignment. Contact the team to access this sought-after network of specialist HR talent. #InterimPractice #HRExperts #CatalystTeam
About us
We are global change-makers. We are on a mission to change the HR recruitment industry by helping build incredible teams with the People and Talent functions that drive ambitious businesses. Specifically, we focus on specialist hires within the People function, creating networks of niche HR talent for roles across the core areas of People and Talent, Reward and People Analytics, and HR Infrastructure. The old, traditional way of ‘doing human resources’ no longer works for today’s working and professional environments. The remit of HR and People teams has rapidly evolved. HR is now a central pillar, helping to define the strategy and culture of a business. In a fast-changing world, it needs to partner with individuals who grasp this and are evolving alongside this change. This is why we set up Catalyst. We are a team of innovators, deeply specialist in each of our HR-focused areas, and with years of industry experience for our clients and candidates to benefit from. There are two tenets we stand by: a service delivered at pace without compromise; setting the bar higher for doing the basics brilliantly. Things agencies should be doing, but don’t. We recruit for all levels within HR, with specialist knowledge placing senior and technical roles across Banking and Finance, Investor-backed businesses, Private Equity and Commerce industries. Each Catalyst expert is dedicated to transforming the HR recruitment experience, so no matter what the job requirements, we can build incredible teams.

We took part in our first Kernel sports day as Team Catalyst, and it was a scorcher! It was great to get away from the desk and enjoy some sports day fun with our teammates at Dartmouth Partners and Pure Search. We had everything from the classic one-legged race (could have done with more legs!), sack racing, and a very competitive egg and spoon dash. Being a part of Kernel means being part of a thriving and collaborative group of brands, where teamwork and healthy competition go hand in hand - both at work and in play! Check out the amazing career opportunities we have available by clicking the link in the comments below. #kernelcareers #sportsday #teamwork
