We specialize in sourcing alternative investments talent, including senior leaders and investment professionals for buyout, growth equity, and venture capital strategies. Additionally, we focus on recruiting middle and back office specialists across Private Equity firms to enhance their recruitment efforts.

Venture Capital thrives on foresight and agility in backing early-stage and high-growth companies. We connect firms with leaders and operators who can identify transformative opportunities, while also supporting operational teams to manage scale, governance, and investor expectations.

Private Credit requires specialists across direct lending, distressed, and opportunistic strategies, with a strong emphasis on portfolio monitoring and risk oversight. Our reach covers front-office originators through to credit operations, enabling resilient platforms across cycles.

Infrastructure and Real Assets demand expertise across core, core-plus, value-add, and opportunistic investments. From capital deployment in renewables and transport to asset management and finance roles, we build teams aligned to long-term, capital-intensive strategies.

Real Estate platforms require acquisitions, development, and asset management specialists across equity and debt. We also strengthen middle- and back-office functions in financing, reporting, and investor relations, supporting firms through cycles of growth and capital deployment.

In Hedge Funds, success is driven by agility across strategies including long/short equity, global macro, event-driven, and quant. We source portfolio managers, analysts, and traders, as well as compliance, risk, and operations professionals who safeguard execution.

Our deep understanding of the full end-to-end workflow enables us to connect clients with the right investment professionals at every stage - from requirements gathering to post-implementation optimisation. We specialize in alternative investments talent, adeptly identifying and placing key roles such as Business Analysts, Project Managers, Change Managers, Developers, QA testers, and Data Specialists, ensuring the right mix of skills to deliver complex projects.

We also appreciate the interplay between the various stakeholder groups - Front Office, Operations, IT, Data Architecture, Compliance, and Finance - and how they collaborate to ensure successful outcomes. This includes understanding the multiple layers within a platform rollout, from fund accounting and performance reporting to portfolio company data integration, investor reporting, and regulatory compliance.

Whether you are streamlining processes, migrating data, or implementing a new investment platform, we understand the organisational dynamics and the talent landscape necessary for effective private equity recruitment to deliver results.

At AltSearch Partners, our understanding of investment technology goes beyond theory - we’ve worked with the platforms that drive the alternative investments industry, giving us an insider’s view of their capabilities, workflows, and user requirements.

Our experience spans leading front office systems such as eFront, Chronograph, Canoe Intelligence, Dynamo, Allvue, Aladdin, Capital IQ, FactSet, PitchBook and more, enabling us to recognize the specific skills and expertise needed for roles within investment, portfolio management, and deal execution teams, particularly in the context of alternative investments talent.

We also have in-depth knowledge of tools used across front-to-back office collaboration, including DealCloud, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and other CRM and pipeline management platforms relied upon by investment professionals hiring, business development teams, and investor relations.

On the back office side, we have practical experience with fund accounting and reporting platforms such as Investran, Yardi, Eze Investment Suite, and Fundwave, as well as data management and reporting tools used by finance, compliance, and operations teams engaged in private equity recruitment.

This direct, hands-on familiarity means we can go beyond job descriptions - we understand how these tools are used in practice, how they integrate with business processes, and what it takes for a candidate to be truly effective in these environments.
