Approaching Private Equity – The UK Knack Group
Private equity players can be key contacts in the pursuit of new job roles, particularly in the following areas: –
1. Where you have product development skills and a pedigree of delivering profit
2. Where you have business start up skills and experience
3. Where you have business turnaround skills and experience
The most vital element of approaching Private Equity players (Venture Capitalists, Business Angels) is your portfolio of previous success and impact. Private Equity is a highly competitive industry, consequently talking vaguely about previous roles and work will not suffice. Whether you have a job in private equity or you are looking at your first, many clients at the UK Knack Group develop a strategy for starting or advancing their private equity career.
The strongest possible route to job opportunities through Private Equity is by a mutual contact, but where that isn’t possible, then unsolicited approaches can work – A key characteristic of Private Equity players is that they are entrepreneurial in their approach and may agree to meet on the off chance that you have something of value to them.
Developing a strategy is vital, the first step is taking into account which area of private equity you are most passionate about, where you as an individual know what fits your unique abilities and sales proposition, understanding what makes you more valuable than other candidates.
Once you have done this you will need to develop a private equity CV and hone your interview skills.
