What do Private Equity firms look for in a candidate ? Have been actively recruiting since the last couple of quarters, here are my thoughts. At an Associate / Analyst level, we are looking at 3 key qualities, in no particular order 1. Analytics Ability - Lots of number crunching required ! 2. Presentation skills - You need to make sense of the number crunching, explain thought process with clarity & confidence and weave a story for investment thesis around it 3. Drive - Call it enthusiasm, energy, passion, commitment, this can be the differentiator as unlike the other two, this may not necessarily be an acquired skill. The learning curve is steep and exhilarating. Enabling investment decisions is a daunting and empowering responsibility. Private equity is about creating value, and candidates who can truly add value will stand out. PS - Still hiring !
