The client struggled to find strong CEO&rsquo;s, with relevant product experience &amp; the functional experience of an exit.

<p>Raw Selection is proven in completing difficult searches and this search was no different. We currently have a strong working relationship with Middleground Capital and they came to us with the challenge of finding a CEO and a CFO.</p>
<p>Finding a CEO and CFO at the same time was tough as naturally, most candidates wanted to know who they would be working for before they got too deeply involved in the process however, we had only the first 2 companies of the roll-up available to disclose. This led to a lot of understandable hesitation, a longer search process, and a large search for the right candidates who were willing to be patient and open minded.</p>

HOW TO HIRE

 

<h3>Private Equity Executive Search, Without the <span style="color: rgb(228, 52, 42);">Risk</span>.</h3>

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.
