Recruiting Corner: Do’s and Don’ts for Diligencing a New Role 💼 PE-backed executives: Selecting the right deal can make the difference between achieving millions in equity or derailing a PE-backed executive #career. Follow these 6 tips to amp up your diligence game to select your next role and portfolio company — and prevent turning what looks like a dream job into a nightmare. Don’t: Believe Everything You Hear ↳ Make sure you align with the sponsor’s goals and that those goals make sense in context of the current market before accepting a role. Speak with current and former management team members to unfold the many complexities behind the default information provided. Do: Dig Beneath the Surface ↳ You’re interviewing the management team and sponsor as much as they’re interviewing you. Dive into trends, recent board packets, and quarterly results to avoid equity pitfalls. Seeking specific details beats assumptions; thorough interviews with management reveal market challenges and growth prospects. Your attention to detail will earn the respect of good sponsors. Don’t: Discount Culture ↳ A toxic work #culture or incompatible sponsor-management partnership can be just as derailing as any financial challenge. Make sure you believe in the mission and ethics of the business and can collaborate well with both the sponsor’s governance style and your fellow CXOs before accepting a role. Do: Network, Network, Network! ↳ Always verify your information externally — otherwise, information may be unintentionally biased at best or willfully misleading at worst. Previous members of the management team, industry experts, and investment bankers are all outside resources who can provide information on both fund dynamics and market conditions. Don’t: Ignore Red Flags ↳ Earning a PE-backed role is often difficult, and it can be tempting to accept an offer even if it doesn’t represent an excellent fit. But taking a role that is an operational mismatch only hurts your career and limits you from better #opportunities. Do: Use our Nine Dimensions of Governance Fit® Diligence Tool We developed the Nine Dimensions of Governance Fit® based on executive feedback to help leaders choose sponsors they’ll work best with and drive alignment throughout the hold period.

Moving from the sell-side to the buy side… I often talk to people working on the sell-side that are keen to move to the buy-side so thought I would post some ideas. Transitioning from the sell side to the buy side can be a rewarding move, but it requires careful planning and preparation. Why do you want to make the move? There are lots of reasons, some are common and others are very personal. Really work through these and be sure that it is the right move. There are a wide range of buy side firms such as asset managers, hedge funds, and private equity firms. Each has its own investment strategies and risk management approaches. Understand the buy-side landscape and understand where your skill set best suits. What is the culture generally and specifically within each area and firm. Once you have worked out what area you feel you would excel in, start to build your CV around not just your role responsibilities but also your achievements and successful projects. How did you add value? Expand your knowledge in areas such as investment strategies, portfolio management and risk analysis, any area that might be appropriate to the role you want. As with any move, leverage your network. Do you know anyone in buy-side firms? I would suggest targeting specific firms that you are interested in. Finally, perhaps you could speak to a recruiter who works in this area. Thanks for reading and hope it helps.   If you’d like to discuss / have any questions please get in touch. I’d be delighted to talk.   Please like / share / comment and this may reach someone that it can really help. #financialservicesrecruitment #dublinjobs #londonjobs #sellside #buyside #assetmanagement #hedgefunds

Investment Advisor Assistant Sales Assistant Client Associate Associate Financial Advisor Associate Investment Advisor Associate No matter what your industry title is we all do the same work. We all undergo the same type of stress, some managing it better than others! Today I invite you to think about this question. If you could change one thing about your job, that would positively impact all the other things about your job, what would that be? I'll share mine first! When I was an investment advisor assistant it would have been to establish boundaries healthily and respectfully. As a recovering people pleaser, I often felt resentment in my role because I couldn't articulate what I needed and what was right for me. Gratefully, all that has changed and it can for you too.

What it truly means to be a search firm exclusively focused on PE: 👉 Full understanding of a PE firm's governance model, portfolio company value creation thesis, and how to hire against that 👉 Ability to advise candidates on equity packages (vesting schedules, tax treatment, payout scenario benchmarks, etc). 👉 Build candidate slates that include passive A-players in PE deals (not just on-market people from many asset classes) 👉 Vet against the key characteristics that are important for someone to perform in PE (execution, urgency, scrappiness, analytical, low-ego, etc). This is the most demanding asset class in American business. Partner with a firm who can help you find the right leader who will thrive under that demand. #privateequity #executivesearch
