Our team comprehensively understands private equity hiring. We create the leadership pipeline for firms to drive projects for investing, origination and value creation areas.

Our specialists have backgrounds in private equity.

This means we have direct experience and a genuine understanding of the intricacies of working in PE and a combined decades-long industry-leading expertise.

We have over 20 years of experience.

Keeping on top of the industry and its current challenges is a priority. From economic uncertainty and candidate scarcity to rapid upward movement in the investor compensation benchmark. We report on it all.

We have comprehensive tools to assess candidates.

We use our multi-layered proprietary screening platform to find the best talent. This, alongside detailed market mapping and leveraging the impressive calibre of our network, ensures every introduction is filled with exceptional possibilities.

us different?

We have a deep and first-hand understanding of the nuances of the PE landscape, strengthened by our ex-industry specialists in the team. We leverage this competitive insight to match the right rivate equity role with the right talent.

We support our clients through structured process management and the provision of non-search products. This includes market insights, salary benchmarking surveys, diversity audits, and event organisation.

Our Classroom to Boardroom approach ensures a continuous flow of exceptional private equity-relevant talent already in our network.

Founding Partner

You clearly listened and understood exactly what we were looking for and regularly sent very qualified candidates our way. I have been in finance for 25 years and have dealt with many headhunters. I have never actually written an email after a placement to provide positive feedback, but you deserve it.

Venture Fund

PE Associate

I could really feel the difference with Dartmouth. I was more than just a profile - I was a person. After every interview, I was given feedback on my performance which wasn’t generalised or blanket remarks but customised.
