Two more private equity shops, Siris Capital and Gauge Capital, have brought aboard full-time talent management executives. It's part of a hiring trend that shows no sign of ebbing.
In a story last year on how the chief talent officer role was becoming a mainstay of payrolls, Private Equity Career News identified more than a dozen firms, including Alpine Investors, Blue Wolf Capital, and Charlesbank Capital Partners, that have them on staff. Helping portfolio companies conduct executive searches is typically a big part of the job; so can be executive coaching, on-boarding and other activities. Some chief talent officers also conduct internal searches for talent.
