$4B PE-Backed Company – Recruiting for Cultural Fit is as Important as Technical Expertise

A new client who had recently quadrupled in size, and had never worked with an Executive Search Firm, was looking for a partner to help them recruit public company talent that would not negatively impact the positive work culture of the organization.   Personality and cultural fit were as (if not more) important as experience and expertise.

Client Overview

We received an introduction to a prospective new client, a PE-held Company who had recently quadrupled in size and was preparing for an IPO.  Due to the company’s strong work culture, stability and reputation as a great place to work they hadn’t needed to work with an executive search firm in the past . With their change in size and IPO plans, they needed help recruiting public company talent to help them as they prepared to go public.

The Challenge

We partnered with them to recruit Internal Audit and Treasury leaders, a FP&A Director, an Assistant General Counsel and SEC Reporting talent for the organization.

End Results

Their organization is in a great place and they continue attract top-tier talent to the company without impacting their fantastic culture.  They are on target to go public this year and continue to partner with us exclusively on any hiring needs they have as they continue to grow and evolve as an organization.
