Where do PE firms recruit from?
Private equity firms typically recruit from a variety of sources depending on which roles they are hiring for. When recruiting for senior and executive-level positions, firms often work with specialised private equity recruiters, like Tiger Recruitment, who have access to a network of candidates with the unique skills and experience required for the industry.
What do private equity recruiters look for?
Private equity recruiters look for candidates with strong financial acumen, typically gained from investment banking, consulting, or corporate finance, and those with strategic thinking, leadership skills, and the ability to thrive in high-pressure environments. Equally important is the applicant’s value and goal alignment with the private equity firm.
When does private equity recruiting start?
Private equity recruiting typically begins well in advance of a hiring need. Firms often start sourcing talent 3-6 months before a role becomes available, particularly for senior or specialised positions. At Tiger Recruitment, we help firms anticipate future hiring needs and proactively identify top candidates to ensure a seamless recruitment process.
We understand that diversity is a key consideration in recruitment across the private equity sector. This commitment aligns with Tiger Recruitment’s core values, as we strive to uphold best practices in diversity, equity and inclusion in everything we do.
