Our Work
We specialize in conducting a select number of retained searches for client-facing roles at all seniority levels, including capital formation, investor relations, product specialists, and consultant relations.
Our focused approach allows us to dedicate all resources and energy to serving each client exceptionally well.
Our objective is to earn deep, trusted relationships with a tight group of clients, helping to ensure the successful onboarding and lasting integration of genuinely best-in-class talent and, in so doing, avoid hiring mistakes, short tenures, and wasted resources.
Where a Practitioner-Led Approach Can Make a Difference
We’ve been on both sides of the table—hiring major search firms and boutiques, and being recruited into senior roles ourselves. We believe external recruiting plays a critical role in investment management—and is ripe for innovation.
We’re rebuilding the process from the ground up: firsthand experience enables the depth and rigor great managers expect; customization and aligned incentives enable true partnership.
Firsthand Talent Partners is inspired by insider knowledge and direct experience, just as a former athlete brings unique insights as a coach, or a background as prosecutor could provide competitive advantage to a defense attorney. Our firsthand perspective allows us to distinguish the truly best-in-class salesperson from someone who just tells a good story. We can engage with both clients and candidates as informed peers. And we apply a salesperson’s relentless drive and consultative approach to build meaningful connections and attract these stellar performers.
