Managing Partner, Coastal Partners | I help Middle Market Private Equity firms accomplish their hiring goals through efficient and expert talent acquisition
The Behavioral/Personality stage of the interview process is the most important. At least according to the results of our most recent poll... 😉 The results are in from our most recent poll, and more than half of voters believe that the behavior/personality stage best accessed a candidate's fit with their firm. The other options, Case Study Interview and Superday/Panel Interview, were very close, basically being tied for 2nd with about 20% of the vote each. #privateequity #investing #hiring — We would love to hear any feedback. Feel free to reach out or follow our page, Coastal Partners.

What would a typical Mid-Level IR PE professional profile look like? 🤔 Wanted to provide some color on an increasingly active space within the IR function. Is prior IR experience necessary? Not according to our findings, but would love to hear other opinions. 😀 #investorrelations #privateequity #middlemarket #investing #hiring

Where are PE firms hiring junior IR professionals from? 🤔 We have done some research and found some interesting trends. Not to spoil anything, but one major highlight is that a career in IR can start in many different ways... 🙌 #privateequity #investorrelations #investing #middlemarket

Recycling is important! 😉 No not that kind of recycling... 🤣 I am referring to is the idea of “recycling” when it comes to investment funds and how they go about their different strategies to maximize returns and profits, as well as attract new investors. Thought it might be helpful to provide some further color. #privateequity #investorrelations #middlemarket #lowermiddlemarket #investing

Many of our recent conversations from both candidates and firms have focused on the various levels of IR roles in the PE/investment space. Thought it might be helpful to give more relevant color, starting with junior level talent, and what goes into that type of role within the IR function. Would love to hear feedback on what we missed. 😉 #privateequity #investorrelations #middlemarket #lowermiddlemarket #investing

I help Mid-Market Private Equity firms hire exceptional investment and business development professionals
Exciting news! We've launched Coastal Partners, our new specialist recruiting firm focused on Business Development and Investor Relations in Private Equity. I'll be leading our BD searches, while my brother, Ed Rooney, will continue to expand his coverage in IR. The idea behind CP is to establish a firm that fully embodies our core focus areas within Private Equity: Business Development and Investor Relations. It's been just over a year since I began focusing on PE BD, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Both current BD professionals and those aspiring to enter the field have expressed gratitude for having a recruiting resource dedicated to this function. Firms that are developing or considering developing their BD teams have generally valued the nuanced understanding of the landscape. And there's plenty of nuance to navigate! Stay tuned for more to come.
