Specialized Search Projects

Controller at a Private Equity Firm

A Bay Area CFO of a PE Firm launched a search for a new Controller, a first-time hire for their organization. This CFO scoured LinkedIn, posted on industry-specific job boards, and spoke with multiple referrals.

After 6-months of self-sourcing without success, she called in Evolve Talent Partners for a retained search. Our team re-crafted the position description, indentified characteristics and foundational knowledge needed for this newly-created role and conducted a targeted and comprehensive search strategy.

These collaborative efforts between the CFO and our team led to both a new Controller for their organization, as well as a lasting business impact for the firm and CFO - who now has an exceptional counterpart.

Senior Fund Accountant

Our client, a Bay Area Hedge Fund, struggled to find a Fund Accountant with enough experience in fund accounting, on-site availability who matched their cultural needs. Our team quickly tapped their broad network to identify resources.

Investment Research –  Emerging Growth Analyst 

A Bay Area investment firm was searching for a senior emerging growth analyst to join their expanding team for over a year.  Given the niche strategy, the hire managers initially planned to identify strong candidates through their deep professional network or the occasional referral from a contingency recruiter.  

They called in Evolve when they thought the search might require dedicated resources.  We reviewed their progress, as well as their challenges in finding the right person.  Together, we refined the job specs and hire goals, and embarked on a focused national search process that helped us understand market dynamics and attract quality investors with successful professional track records. 

This bespoke retain strategy paid off and an exceptional investor with strong emerging company storytelling capabilities joined their team.

“There’s a gap in the talent acquisition industry between a staffing agency (well-equipped to deliver resumes efficiently) and boutique retained executive search firms that meet with clients regularly and carefully target candidates.

Lynn and I have partnered to create a process exclusive to Evolve – where we provide a targeted approach to finding talent at ALL levels.”
