Introduction

Private equity firms are changing—and so are the candidates they need. Traditional hiring strategies can’t keep up with the complexity and competition of today’s deals.

What’s changed: More specialisation, tighter timelines, and a need for both technical brilliance and commercial instinct.

The hiring challenge: Everyone’s chasing the same small pool of high-performers.

Circle Square’s solution: Decades of networking, sector insight, and bespoke search methods that go far beyond LinkedIn.

Success story: How we helped a mezzanine fund hire 3 new Associates in 6 weeks.

Conclusion:
If you’re relying on old-school methods to hire in PE, you’re already behind. Let Circle Square be your competitive advantage in the talent market.
