The Opportunity
We are looking to appoint a senior recruitment professional to lead an HR recruitment offering, working closely with some of the most exciting Private Equity-backed, Venture Capital-backed and high-growth businesses in the market.
This is an opportunity for an established HR recruitment specialist with strong commercial experience and senior client relationships to join an established group.
The role will have a particular focus on working with Private Equity firms and their portfolio companies, alongside VC-backed and high-growth technology businesses.
You will benefit from access to an existing network of investors, portfolio companies, founders and senior executives across the wider group.
A key part of the opportunity is the ability to work directly within the Private Equity ecosystem.
Our client has established relationships with a range of PE investors and their portfolio companies, from some of the world's largest global funds through to leading mid-market investors. This creates a significant opportunity to build relationships with investors and subsequently support their portfolio companies with senior HR and People appointments.
