2023 Talent Trends: Private Equity

April 4, 2023

Each year, Business Talent Group releases the High-End Independent Talent Report, looking across industries and business functions to analyze how business leaders deploy top independent talent to fill critical skill, expertise, and leadership gaps. Here are the key private equity trends for 2023.

Economic volatility is creating opportunity for private equite firms seeking to capitalize on changing market dynamics and lower valuations. With an uncertain economic outlook, firms are shoring up leadership teams and optimizing portco operations. Top areas of demand for on-demand talent include interim leadership, process optimization, post-merger integration, growth strategy, and organizational transformation.
