Here are a few quotes from CROs who have had unfavorable experiences with transactional recruiters: "I spent 3 months in an interview process and was ghosted by the recruiter" "The recruiter sent me a vague message saying I wasn't a fit and provided no detail" "The recruiter told me relocation wasn't required only for me to find out later that it was (they just wanted to get me into process)" At Falcon, we take the candidate interview experience extremely seriously (we even measure it). Because we fundamentally believe in creating deep relationships with our executives...even if they don't fit the opportunity we're discussing. That approach pays incredible dividends in the long-run. Executives can feel when they're being treated like a transaction, and no one likes to be treated like that. #executiverecruiting

BREAKING NEWS. Last week, we released the first issue of our PE Sponsor Monthly Newsletter. Every month, we'll provide PE sponsors with data-driven insights that combine survey data from sitting PE-backed executives and real-time retained search market feedback. This month's topic: Retention Strategies for Flight-Risk PortCo Talent According to our data, only 38% of sitting PE-backed executives say they're unlikely to leave before exit. If you want access to our action plan on how to solve for this, DM me or shoot me an email at joe.gravino@falcon-pe.com and I'll add you to the newsletter distribution list. #privateequity #talenttrends

It's inevitable, everyone makes executive hiring mistakes. Here's how our leading PE clients make less of them. 1. They have a clear understanding of their culture & governance model (and how to hire against it) 2. They are open-minded on salary, location, domain experience to attract the best PERSON that matches their governance model (rather than the best profile) 3. They repeat points 1 & 2 in a systematic fashion across every port co and every search People are typically hired on skill set and fired for behavior. The best PE firms are actively working to reverse that trend. #privateequity #executiverecruiting
