How It Works

Hire Portfolio Managers in 3 steps

A structured process for the hire that owns fund-level performance and allocation strategy — where the wrong Portfolio Manager misses the vintage window, mis-allocates capital, or fumbles the LP-facing reporting.

Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. Align on fund vintage, AUM, LP structure, allocation model, and start date.

Step 02

Review hand-selected talent

Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Portfolio Managers with delivered fund-level performance history. References from prior LPs, GPs, and investment committees included.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.

Why iRecruit.co for Portfolio Manager Hires

What makes our Portfolio Manager shortlist different

Portfolio Managers own fund-level strategy and LP-facing performance. Portfolio-strategy discipline, capital-allocation rigor, and LP-facing composure separate a Portfolio Manager who protects fund performance from one who becomes the reason LPs pass on the next fund.

01

Fund-level performance history

Every Portfolio Manager has verified vintage-level fund performance track record from prior investment committees.

02

Capital-allocation discipline

Reference-verified allocation-model rigor, portfolio-construction discipline, and sector-weighting judgment.

03

LP-facing composure

Verified LP-reporting quality, quarterly LP-letter discipline, and LP annual meeting composure.
