This role will focus primarily on executing searches at the Pre-MBA level on behalf of our Venture Capital ("VC") and Growth Equity clients, most of whom are based in the US, but some of whom are located overseas.
Since we were established in 1997, we have worked with several well known firms across the spectrum of private equity and public market investing. Our VC practice in particular, has partnered with several top decile funds who funded many of the most well known technology companies, whose products and services candidates likely use every day. Throughout our twelve years of growth, we have maintained an entrepreneurial environment that is focused first and foremost on meeting and exceeding our clients' expectations. Therefore, we are most interested in those individuals who match our core principles of a commitment to excellence in providing a true value-added service as industry advisors, and who hold themselves highly accountable to deliver the most comprehensive solution to one of our clients' most significant challenges: recruiting the best talent, period.
