I regularly post "Search Spotlights" on here -- these are placements I'm looking to make for clients. But today I'm trying something new 🔥 There is such an incredible density of talent within the Right Hand network, so to honor that, I’m doing the reverse: I'm going to highlight stellar candidates -- discreetly -- who are looking for their next thing in what I'm calling "Candidate Close-ups" (because you know I had to brand it!) If you’re hiring and feel like the candidate showcased here could be who you need on your team, LMK! :) 🙋♀️ Candidate Background This candidate was most recently a Senior Associate at a software-focused fund ($5B+ AUM). She was pivotal in the firm's early stages, joining as the first non-Managing Director (MD) hire while the firm was securing its inaugural fund. As the sole non-MD member on a small investment team, she was instrumental in closing 5 deals within 18 months, effectively operating as a standalone investment team. She also played a significant role on the operational front, spearheading the acquisition strategy for one of their portcos where she was a board member, and successfully executing 2 acquisitions in as many months. Before her time at this fund, she spent 3 years at a growth equity firm, focusing on sourcing and executing deals in vertical software and payments sectors, and began her career as an investment banking analyst at a major financial services firm. 💪🏻 Top 3 Skills • Financial modeling & analysis • Managing multiple priorities at once • Efficiency ✨ Proudest Achievement Launching a professional podcast that focuses on women in finance and surviving 18 holes on her first-time visit to a golf course with her future in-laws. 🔥 What’s Unique Her positivity and energy! 🎯 Career Goals In her next role, she’d like to round out her skillset with operational expertise to prepare her for an executive-level ops or senior investment role – both areas where she believes there should be more women in senior positions. She would also like to inspire more women in the financial services / STEM / investment spaces. #chiefofstaff #recruiting

Most comments to this post on VC jobs debated whether using speed as a selection criterion was fair or efficient. To me, the striking element is that 450 people applied for the job opening. I’ve trained VC applicants for years, and they all report the same phenomenon. The chances of breaking into Venture Capital via a job advertised on LinkedIn or other platforms are infinitesimal. A better way is to build relationships with GPs at several target firms. Build a mousetrap to be top of mind with hiring VCs when a new role opens. Step-by-step guide below 👇 #venturecapital #vcjob
