Salary, training, onboarding, executive search fees. We understand the cost of hiring. Not to mention the hidden costs of a bad hire if something does go wrong.

All too often, Private Equity firms are made to accept this loss.

We weren't happy with this, so we set out to change it. Hiring for your firm shouldn't be a risk

That's why we're de-risking executive search for all our clients, with our full money back guarantee and free candidate replacement service.

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

Private equity firms have less than 25% success rate on executive appointments. Change that today.

Raw Selection is a leading executive search consultancy for lower to middle-market Private Equity firms and their Portfolio Companies. We work across Europe and North America to find exceptional talent and de-risk the executive search process.

Risk and reward may be an inseparable pair in Private Equity but the same doesn’t have to be said for Private Equity executive search. <br><br><b>Founded in 2017</b> with one objective: Offer meticulous executive search risk-free.

While search firms have traditionally looked at the here, now and exit, leaving organisations with average performance, loss of productivity and often, a skills gap, Raw Selection was built on the principles of longevity and excellence.

We work with Private Equity Firms and their Portfolio Companies to find the skills and experience needed today, tomorrow and until exit. It’s this longevity and excellence that we look for in your next hire and in the very unlikely event that we don’t find it, we’ll offer you your money back.

Unlike traditional investing, investing in your human capital with Raw Selection is the only way to get a return on investment with every hire.

Raw Selection continues to invest in candidate assessment processes and raising standards to ascend to be the leading Private Equity executive search partner. We pride ourselves on being the last executive search you will ever have to work with. Partner with us to take the risk out of your next Executive Search assignment.

Roles We Recruit For

Partner with us to take the risk out of your next Executive Search.

Macroeconomic headwinds, ecosystem losses and geopolitical tensions have all had a huge impact on the investment landscape. There is thought to be a back-log of unsold Portfolio Companies, of four times the value than during the 2008 financial crisis*

Strong portfolio management has never been more crucial. After all, why purchase a great company and then hire ordinary managers to take it to the next level?

Raw Selection specialises in helping Private Equity firms find investment professionals who can unlock access to the most lucrative opportunities. We then help their Portfolio Companies to build exceptional operating teams who know how to seize them.

We can match your Portfolio Company with executives who can navigate economic downturns, build sustainable revenue generation, perfect your organisational structure and up-skill existing teams to ensure your company evolves in a constantly changing market. In the unlikely event that we can’t, we’ll offer you your money back.

That’s how we offer Private Equity executive search, without the risk.

Typically boasting small teams with flat structures, working within a Portfolio Company means access to stakeholders, a voice in strategic decision making and less bureaucracy.
