Consultant, Global Executive Search Practice
The Brief
A New York-based Global Executive Search Practice specializing in Private Equity was seeking to expand its team with a qualified consultant.
The client aimed to capitalize on growth opportunities within the high-performing asset classes they specialized in, all while integrating the selected candidate into their pre-existing team. The candidate would possess a minimum of 3 years of relevant private equity search experience, a strong track record, and a desire to work from their New York office.
Furthermore, the client had a strong preference for candidates from a prestigious SHREK Firm, making the search particularly challenging. A strong cultural fit would be preferred to ensure a seamless transition in to an already established team.

They assessed candidates' backgrounds to ensure they possessed the necessary private equity search experience and a successful track record.
Recognizing the specificity of the client's requirements, Tempting Talent engaged in proactive headhunting. They targeted individuals with the exact skill set and experience the client sought, often reaching out directly to potential candidates who may not have been actively looking for new opportunities. Tapping into Tempting Talent’s extensive existing network and talent pools in the private equity sector proved most successful in identifying potential candidates.
Once promising candidates were identified, Tempting Talent engaged in detailed discussions and negotiations with each candidate. They represented the client's interests while ensuring candidates were well-informed about the opportunity and its alignment with their career goals.
Given the highly selective nature of the search, Tempting Talent invested significant time in managing the client's expectations and ensuring that the client fully understood the complexities involved in finding the ideal candidate.
The Result
