Hiring Strategies Are Changing for Private Equity Firms

LogoThe Private Equity sector has undergone significant changes in recent years in terms of business models - leading to a shift in hiring strategies as a result. The needs of many firms in this industry today are not the same as they were even a few years ago. Key to this has been the shift in turnaround, which at one point was between three and five years but today is more likely to be five to seven years. Conditions that previously defined the way Private Equity firms functioned, such as the availability of cheap debt, don't exist today and the huge increase in the value of assets as a result of the availability of money (as much as an uptick in profitability) that previously defined Private Equity can sometimes seem very far away.

The Importance of Having a Chief People Officer

Logo[Trend topics]. A robust HR team is essential in this day and age when working models are shifting and the needs of employees changing too. The right Chief People Officer will be at the head of this department, bringing a range of skills to the table including organisational development and people management. This executive level position is where the building of company culture often originates from and that's why it's so important to fill the Chief People Officer role with someone who doesn't just have the right skill set but is also a good organisational fit.

The Need for a Chief Data Officer

Logo[Trend topics]. Of all the senior executives that a business needs to source today, a Chief Data Officer is increasingly the most pressing. This role is driven by Technology and covers every aspect of data strategy, from developing it to implementing it and managing it. The ultimate aim is to ensure the security and privacy of data and to guarantee that the business is compliant with the regulation and legislative standards that have been defined by law. In practice, that could look like many different activities, including establishing policies and procedures for data management across the business, implementing access control and encryption, as well as carrying out risk management. It's also often the Chief Data Officer that is responsible for training, ensuring that Technology investments are being properly used in a way that optimises the resources but also ensures data compliance. Without a Chief Data Officer, these standards can remain unmet and this can cause a lot of problems in both the short and the long term.

Interim Leadership gives you access to someone who is essentially a veteran in the executive world and able to arrive in your business and hit the ground running. They will bring fresh eyes, a wealth of experience and feel comfortable stepping in to handle whatever needs attention right at that moment. But what kind of mindset does Interim Leadership require?
