Finance Recruiting for VC, PE, and Corporate Finance
We recruit across the buy-side and the corporate side: investment professionals (analysts through partner) at venture capital and private-equity firms, operating partners and portfolio-operations leaders, fund-finance and back-office talent, and senior finance leadership inside portfolio companies and Fortune 500 corporates. Our recruiters speak the language of fund economics, carry, deal flow, and portfolio support, and we qualify candidates on the structure they're moving into, not just the title.
How we conduct finance searches.
Finance hiring is structurally different from other industries we recruit in. A VC associate is not interchangeable with a growth-equity associate, and a fund CFO at a $300M emerging manager is not the same hire as a fund CFO at a $5B platform. We qualify candidates against fund stage, strategy (sector, geography, check size), partnership track expectations, and what a real day-to-day looks like at the firm, before we put a name in front of a hiring partner. For corporate finance roles, the same discipline applies: ownership structure (PE-backed, public, private), reporting line, and growth stage all shape what 'fit' actually means.
- Confidential by default
Senior and replacement searches run without external signaling. No name, firm, or scope leaves the engagement without explicit clearance.
- Contingency model
No retainer, no obligation, no fee until the candidate is hired and starts.
- Direct line
You speak with the recruiter handling your search. No account managers, no handoffs.

How we structure fees.
The firm conducts searches on both contingency and retained bases. For most engagements, a contingency arrangement applies: a percentage of the candidate’s first-year compensation, payable upon hire. There is no retainer and no obligation to engage.
For confidential searches, executive-level placements, or engagements requiring exclusive market representation, we can structure a retained engagement on request.
Contract placements operate on a bill-rate basis. For these engagements, the firm manages the employment relationship, including workers’ compensation, benefits, and payroll, during the contract term.
