Description

My guest on this episode is Alex Rawlings, the Founder and Managing Partner of Raw Selection, an executive search firm that specializes in finding talent for PE firms and their portfolio companies. He is also the host of an excellent show called The Private Equity Podcast, which I was fortunate enough to be a guest on. In this informative conversation, we covered:


• The founding inspiration for Raw Selection;


• The opportunity Alex saw to differentiate Raw Selection from other exec search firms;


• The evolution of the talent recruitment industry that is focused on PE firms;


• Common mistakes PE firms make when hiring execs for portfolio companies; and


• How Raw Selection has developed an expertise in sourcing execs in the white hot HVAC space.
