Private Equity Resume Services: Our Unique Approach
We have helped hundreds of executives land their first or subsequent role in Private Equity for titles ranging from Chief Investment Officer, Operating Partner, to Portfolio Company executives in various C-suite roles. Our insider knowledge of the PE sector allows us to position you effectively for roles within PE firms or their portfolio companies.
By choosing our services, you benefit from our expertise in emphasizing the right experiences and skills that PE firms seek. We know what matters in this industry, and we craft your resume to reflect those key elements.
- Private Equity firms have a very particular leadership style and operational achievements that they prefer over all others.
- Certain leadership traits valued in other markets will get you passed over in the PE sector.
- Private Equity Firms dislike transitional resume formats.
- If you come from the corporate world wanting to transition into Private Equity, you MUST emphasize certain particular skillsets to be taken seriously.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Private Equity resumes differ from traditional resumes. Certain strengths and leadership traits are needed in the PE market, and you need to know what they are to be considered as a serious candidate. We know exactly what they are. We understand the layout and presentation that PE firms and PE-focused executive recruiting firms like best. We can tailor your documents for Private Equity Roles and guide you through what to emphasize and what to minimize.
Gain a competitive edge when embarking on your executive transition into your first or next role with private equity firms by partnering with us.

“Cindy and Mary Elizabeth, I just wanted to reach out and let you know that the response in 2 days has been pretty incredible. I have had multiple PE and recruiters reach out to set up calls and some with real opportunities and not just networking calls. One recruiter has me scheduled for 4 interviews this week with a PE board and a separate PE board saw my resume and reached out with a couple possible opportunities. Amazing results.
Multiple times I have heard that I have a great looking resume, and one even complimented “my team” in putting it together. I believe that to be outside of my experience although the way that you have phrased my experience has definitely helped. The recruiter I spoke with today said it was the best resume he had seen in a while and had an opportunity that he was setting me up for. Very happy with the process and the response so far. I’ll let you know any further results.”
Board Position • CEO • COO • Healthcare
“I just wanted to say thanks so much for your help with the resumes and the recruiter/private equity distributions. The initial response has been incredible. In less than 48 hours I have 7 appointments. You and your team are wonderful!”
COO • Consumer Goods
“I have received well over 100 emails responses to the resume email distribution. 30 or so have real potential including “Operating Partners” for Private Equity that get paid on a transaction basis eval and success and transition to a Board Seat or temp embedded management. I have 12-15 introductory calls completed/scheduled. People are responding very well to the resume even when they don’t have current opportunities.”
CEO / BOD • Healthcare
“I took a position with an aerospace company (new industry) and went from COO to CEO. The total comp is only slightly more but the potential payout opportunity is in the multi-seven figures. The PE firm that owns the company hired me and commented multiple times how they loved the flow and the content of my resume. I got so many compliments on how professional it was and how easy to assimilate the information was too. The website you designed also got a lot of compliments and made it easy for me to quickly give a link and then they could review my qualifications and come back later for another discussion.”
CEO • Title Change from COO
“I accepted a position and start tomorrow (Monday). I will be working for XXXX, a private equity-backed manufacturer in the oil and gas industry. I increased my comp by over $20k and am in line for the President role… I would not have found this position without your help, as this is a result of your e-mail campaign. My position was not identified until they saw my credentials, and they realized that they could benefit from someone with my experiences.”
President • Manufacturing
“I’ve had 5 phone screenings so far in the past two days from the distribution list you sent my resume and VPL to. The phone conversations where about 30 minutes apiece with 2 CEOs, one Managing Partner, and 2 Executive Recruiters. Both CEOs told me that in their almost 30 years apiece, they have NEVER seen a more clean, crisp resume, especially from someone in the military. The other Managing Partner in NY said the exact same thing.”
COO • Military Transition
“It’s been some time since we last spoke. Even though we haven’t worked together recently our work together continues to pay dividends for me and for that reason I have continued to refer trusted friends and colleagues to you. This is such an occasion. I recently took a CEO role of a new portfolio company as my last role was winding down and at the same time my prior boss has also transitioned out of the project we were leading together.”
COO, Fortune 500 • Retail
“The new company matched my base and bonus. Add-ons included a strong sign-on bonus (to offset walking away from my bonus), car allowance, and a 5x increase in equity (in the millions in current market value – which is many times greater than my current package). I am going from a 500MM revenue company to a 1B+ revenue organization, with strong investors and a track record of growth and profitability…I don’t think I would have ever been a blip on their radar without a strong LinkedIn profile to start me off. I think I interviewed with 9 people over several months, and got nothing but compliments on the resume.”
