What we do
We have a sense of purpose behind everything that we do. Every search gives us privileged access to fascinating and talented people. Working with them to help build their teams or their careers is highly motivating.
How we do it
In the era of job boards and LinkedIn, our clients could start the hiring process themselves. Yet they come to us because we offer so much more.
We combine knowledge with commitment and dedication to bring energy and enthusiasm to every search. We know where to look for the best people and how to get their attention, resulting in rapid and comprehensive shortlists.

Our principles
Our heart
We listen, we learn and we care. We put people at the heart of everything we do and want the right person in the right role, for the long-term. It is no coincidence that the majority of our clients are themselves former candidates who have known us from both sides of the recruitment process.

Our commitment to DE&I
We are a people business. We like people. We want to see everyone achieve their potential. We believe that private markets can be for everyone. By trying new approaches, sharing our experiences and opening up the conversation we make a difference.
Leading the conversation
We lead the conversation with our initiatives. We partnered with Real Deals to bring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Leaders to the forefront. We sponsor diversity and minorities initiatives and create forums to enhance access to the industry for less well-represented groups. We have worked with Level 20 since its inception, and delivered our own initiatives to improve female representation in private markets.
Trying new approaches
We reach out to under-represented groups providing forums to educate and promote opportunities in private markets and coach and tutor to enhance the chances of success in the recruitment process.
Reaching out
Over the last two years, we have welcomed more than 200 women to events in London, Munich and Frankfurt. Over coffees, cocktails and Zoom, we’ve provided opportunities for women at all levels to share strategies for career advancement and expand their professional networks. We've shared knowledge on recruitment processes and given them confidence in their own ability to add value and succeed.
We know how fortunate we are and through volunteering, charitable donations and fundraising activities, everyone at PER has the opportunity to give something back.
