When You Need to Find Executive Advisors Fast
Recently, a middle-market PE firm came to SearchEssentials struggling to find executive advisors to help them ramp up. They had highly specific sector experience requirements, which made it difficult to connect with qualified individuals. When they did, they struggled to convey the right message to get them excited about an opportunity that wasn’t a full-time role.
Our team jumped in and researched a large pool of candidates, ultimately adding 145 to the Thrive system for calibration and review. From there, the team made their approvals, and we connected the hiring team with six qualified candidates over nine weeks.
In the end, the firm hired four out of the six candidates to come on board as advisors–a massive win in a relatively short timeframe.
Before engaging with SearchEssentials, the team wanted to prioritize running an inclusive search process but didn’t know how to execute this when they were reliant on their limited network.
Among the top candidates Search Essentials presented to the firm, 20% were underrepresented talent. The team used innovative sourcing methods, including tapping AboveBoard’s community of underrepresented talent, to expand the talent pool for the advisor search.
