Expertise. Better access. A recruiter’s job is to find the best candidates for your open positions. Just like you’d hire a personal trainer to get in shape, a mechanic to fix your car, or a chef to prepare a gourmet meal, a recruiter is the professional you need to secure top talent. 🏋️‍♂️ They handle the heavy lifting—screening resumes, managing job board searches, and filtering out unqualified candidates. This saves you time and ensures that only the best talent reaches your door. Recruiters also have a broad network, including passive candidates who aren’t actively job hunting but are open to the right opportunity. This expands your talent pool and brings in candidates you might not find otherwise. With their deep industry knowledge, recruiters understand exactly what hiring managers need and can quickly pinpoint the right fit. This expertise helps you avoid costly hiring mistakes by recommending only the most qualified candidates.   If you’re serious about building a high-performing team, working with a recruiter is an easy choice. 🔑 #CainMann #PE 3 Reasons why I'm not there when you need me: 📅❌🤷‍♂️? 1) Being sick and almost missing the UK's largest Recruitment expo? - I'm still attending! ✅🦸🏻‍♂️ 2) Juggling around the UK’s largest Recruitment Expo, sponging in the intel while listening to Greg Savage, connecting and engaging with Top Talent professionals, all while missing emails and calls from my candidates and clients? - Immersed in my earphones, with noise cancellation set on deepest setting asking "Can you hear me well?".

So you have collected a bunch of business cards, now what?   First of all, connection is what matters most, not the number of cards in your pockets. Not to be a turn-off, but if you didn’t feel a ‘click’ before you were handed a business card, it’s unlikely that this contact will qualify for a STRONG network.   So, don’t be a ghost! Keep the lines of communication open. Write an email, give a call, grab a coffee, or collaborate on a project.   Also, remember that networking works both ways. Listen attentively and be ready to help if you identify a need.   Now that you’ve got strong foundations, become a regurlar face. Building trust is the most important aspect when it comes to building new connections. The simplest way to build trust is by increasing the frequency to become a frequently of connection either direct or indirect.  ➡ Be a regular at industry publications, PE hubs, and become a consistent attendee of events. ➡ Get LinkedIn (if you’re reading this, you’re already ahead on this one). Be more proactive – like, comment, congratulate on achievements, check in on them via text. #CainMann #careeradvice #PE #networking A day in the life of a PE Analyst 💼 So, you’re considering becoming a Private Equity Analyst. It’s a great idea to start with the end in mind and understand what your day-to-day life may end up looking like.   Firstly, it depends on 3 things: 1.    The firm and how it treats their analysts 2.    Deal activity 3.    The types of deals the firm works with   We’ll use an example of an average case with average amount of deal activity in an average middle-market PE firm, that works on buyouts and bolt-on acquisitions. #CainMann #InvestmentBanking #ADayInALife “Can I get into Private Equity?”   This is a question we get asked a lot. Especially from non-traditional candidates. It’s time for an honest reality check – private equity firms are not going to be impressed by… ➡ A degree in accounting ➡ Background in corporate law ➡ Bronze rank in Fortnite ➡ PhD in biomedical engineering ➡ Being a ‘quick learner’ It’s a tough market as it is and, unfortunately, you have a very low chance of getting into PE with these credentials alone. What do PE firms look for? ➡ Someone who already works at a different PE firm ➡ Investment Banking Analysts at bulge bracket or elite boutiques ➡ Smaller firms also hire IB Analysts at middle market and boutique banks ➡ Undergraduates for junior-level roles, like PE Analysts  If you’re lucky enough, you may be hired by a PE firm if you’re in a closely related field where you work on transactions or if you’re aiming for a smaller fund. Our intention is not to crush hope, but it’s important to be realistic. Watch out for these Red Flags as a Job Seeker 🚩 If you don’t, you risk a very high chance that you end up in the same exact situation, dealing with the same exact pain points, and end up just as miserable. Why it matters: Given the way the market’s been in 2024, some of us just want a job. Any job. Even if it’s just a bridge job. But do this for me: At least figure out these 🚩🚩 up front so you know what you’re getting into. Let’s dive in 👇: 1: High Employee Turnover Why should you join a team that everyone else is leaving? If it’s one person, that’s fine. If it’s two, a little sketchy. If it’s a revolving door, time to sound the alarm. • Try looking up current/former employees on LinkedIn. See what they have to say on Glassdoor/ online Reviews • Pay attention to how the interviewer & hiring managers are talking about their teams. • Ask the interviewers directly: “Can you tell me about the average tenure on the team?” or “Why is this position open?” • Trust your gut. If you think something stinks, it’s because it probably is. 2: Lack of Transparency It’s your obligation to interview the company as much as they interview you. • You deserve to know some basic information before you spend your valuable time going through their process. • Salary, headcount, reason for the opening, growth opportunities, project details, and so on… • If they avoid these questions, it’s for a reason. They know something is off and they don’t care to fix it. 3: Lack of Communication • A *rough* timeline of events should be discussed on the first call. • At the very least, when the manager generally expects to fill the role (i.e. 1-2 months from opening), and when you’ll hear about next steps. • If they ghost you until it’s time for the next round, that just shows you how they treat their employees before you even walk through the door. 4: No Growth Opportunities No one wants to stay in the same position for years on end. • Ask about how you can grow within the group & within the company. • Make it a point that you want to move up as you progress, whether that be as a higher level IC or into management. • Ask if any others on their direct teams or their peers have while they’ve been there. 5: Vague Job Descriptions Usually this means that they lack clarity and/or they’re going to have you do everything + the kitchen sink. • A job description should essentially be a big-picture outline of what you can expect to do on your day-to-day, with some room to operate outside the job description every now and then. • You’ve heard me say if you want a raise/promotion, you’ll have to operate above the job description you’re working for. • But at the same time, you should still have an idea of what’s expected of you when you join the company. Can joyconomy exist in finance?   "Joyconomy" is a term created by Wunderman Thompson. It highlights trends like heightened expressionism, timeless play, and positive interactions.   In 2024, consumers seek optimism, joy, and resilience through bold colours and play. We all know someone who is riding the wave of this trend high!   How about the finance industry - can this trend, or better, a way of being, exist in a hostile environment?   That's a big YES from us!   It takes courage to be a trendsetter, but once you start seeing the effects of joyconomy in your life, you won't be able to stop. #CainMann #IB #joyconomy #privateequity In preparation for May, a month dedicated to celebrating cultural awareness, we're curious to know how many of you are familiar with the “joyconomy” term.

If you tell Firm A that you’ve already received an offer from Firm B, Firm A will put you at the top of the list of candidates to give an offer to.   ❗ Don't mention this after the first interview. It's unlikely that you'll be invited to future interviews if they expect rejection in a few days.   Second, check your network. We’re specifically referring to two types of people: your recruiter and your group alumni. Nothing beats a real conversation with someone who has sat through this process numerous times.   Your recruiter and alumni can also help you with case studies. That's usually what trips most of the candidates. An experienced recruiter can advise you on the type of LBO model to expect and your schoolmate can even direct you on how to best prepare for it.

In low-income countries, one out of four businesses have female owners. Conversely, in middle- and high-income countries, female participation in entrepreneurship is higher, reaching between 36% and 37% respectively.   ⚠️ However, the stats also reveal that women only make up 20% of the private equity and M&A workforce in Europe, indicating a need for further progress towards gender equity.   PE committees with at least one woman outperform all-male teams by an average IRR of 12% and 52% per euro invested.   In honour of International Women's Day, we've interviewed our most accomplished female candidates, to offer advice to other ambitious women aspiring to reach senior positions in PE and M&A.   Here’s what they had to say ⬇ #CainMann #womeninbusiness #internationalwomensday #womeninfinance ❗Aligning candidate fit to organizational goals is the most important hiring step❗   Our team at Cain&Mann has developed a handy guide outlining the three essential factors to evaluate to guarantee that your new hire adds value to your M&A firm.

It's not as easy as just posting a job ad and hoping for the best. Crafting an irresistible job ad is what’s going to attracting the right talent. We've got the top 5 requirements for creating a winning job ad that will give you high-quality applications: Let's start with the basics. A job ad is your opportunity to shout from the rooftops that you're hiring. It's not a job description or specification. Think of it as a pitch to potential candidates that will make them excited about the role. To create a job ad that stands out, you need to start with your dream candidate in mind. What skills and qualifications do they need to have? Once you know that, you can work backwards to craft the perfect ad. Stay tuned for job ad templates carefully crafted by our hiring experts. Here's a breakdown of what your job ad should include 👇🏽   #CainMann #HiringAdvice #JobAd Been there? #CainMann Private Equity Recruitment Market in 2024: Staying Ahead in a Vigorous Competition   The recruitment market for private equity is thriving, with investors' growing demand driving the hiring of additional staff. Employers are prioritizing gaining an advantage within their recruitment process, with competition becoming more intense than ever.   In light of this, we have identified key focus areas to watch out for if you want to stay on top of the competition in a relentless talent acquisition market. Not surprisingly, Work/Life balance becoming the most desired “perk”.   Our experts observed that many private equity funds and PE-backed portfolio companies in Germany and the UK have reverted to pre-pandemic working conditions, resulting in them missing out on an opportunity to attract staff by focusing on other methods, such as company performance. Solution? Offering young talent what they want.   A good work-life balance will give you a recruitment advantage, but it's not just about offering more time off. It's about creating an environment where employees feel supported, and their output becomes a core business driver rather than the number of hours worked.   Remember that the company's values and the business's approach to what it expects of its personnel are all linked to work-life balance. Therefore, communicate clearly to prospective or current employees what your firm values and how it has evolved with the times. This will both aid retention and enable you to attract the best talent. #CainMann #HiringAdvice #PE #PrivateEquity #WorkLifeBalance #2024 That was one of a kind experience! Cain & Mann Unplanned voluntary #turnover can have a significant impact on your business. It is well-known that this kind of exit can be costly, but there are also hidden expenses, such as knowledge gaps and the burden on remaining employees to fill in the gaps. First-year turnover is even more damaging. Common drivers of this include culture clashes, poor working relationships, and job dissatisfaction. These factors are all indicative of a fundamental problem: new hires frequently experience a significant difference between their expectations and the reality of their new workplace.   Off the record, employees who leave often express visceral emotional reactions to these issues, such as "I can't work in a place that operates like that," or "This isn't the job they said it was." This misalignment between expectations and reality can cause new employees to flee quickly. To address this problem, consider implementing the following three strategies 👇🏽 #CainMann #Onboarding As we head into the new year, executives should take proactive measures to ensure they are ready for the challenges ahead.

Here are five tips to make the most of your office holiday party experience  #CainMann #ChristmasParty #CareerAdvice In the past, your status in a company was usually determined by the number of people you managed. Nowadays, however, the correlation between management and organizational hierarchy isn't as strong. As companies experience economic downturns, they often turn to restructurings, reorganizations, and reassignments to address the situation without exacerbating the labour shortage. It's not uncommon for #managers to suddenly find themselves without people to manage after a corporate reshuffling. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as the company moving in a different direction, or the manager not being cut out for the role. But a change in management position doesn't always have to be viewed as a demotion or a career derailer. Instead, it can be an opportunity to explore different avenues of career advancement. Our experts have provided five tips on how managers can effectively handle the transition. #CainMann #Restructuring #CareerChange #CareerAdvice 🚀 Exciting Opportunity Alert! 🚀 Ready to elevate your career in the heart of Munich?
