The Challenge
The role required someone with:
- Deep private credit and mid-market direct lending experience
- A proven fundraising track record with major institutional investors
- An established network across PE-backed lending
This was made even more of a challenge by a
highly competitive U.S. talent market, with the
need to identify someone who aligned with their
long-term growth plans.
Our Solution
We leveraged our specialist private credit network, built through years of working directly with senior leaders across core specialisms. We provided:
- Precision market mapping of senior talent across
New York, Chicago and Boston - Assessment of technical expertise, strategic
alignment and cultural fit, ensuring candidates could thrive in a high-visibility, entrepreneurial team inside a large institution - Direct, relationship-based access to passive MD-level
candidates not actively engaging with other recruiters
The Result
The role was filled in under a month, with the Managing Director bringing over a decade of private credit origination experience, strong institutional fundraising credentials, and a network fully aligned with the bank’s middle-market strategy.
If you’re looking for support scaling, we’re able to operate at speed and precision, delivering talent that shapes the strategic future of our clients.
