Executive Search Private Markets
We have a long track record of supporting private credit, real estate, and infrastructure teams through keystone leadership appointments and subsequent team build-outs.
Most Search firms evaluate candidates based on the traditional metrics of skills and experience. At Godliman Partners we understand that the crucial factor in ensuring new hire success is the ‘Fit’ between client culture and candidate style, values and motivations.
About UsWe have a long track record of supporting private credit, real estate, and infrastructure teams through keystone leadership appointments and subsequent team build-outs.
We support Investment Management firms with senior appointments that strengthen strategy, make disciplined decisions, and reinforce long-term organisational growth.
We help Asset Management firms navigate these moves with clarity and discretion. Our advisory model is designed to reduce “fit-risk,” strengthen leadership capability, and support long-term organisational performance.
As a result the longevity and success in role of our hires is significantly above the industry norm.
We map the candidate pool not only for their skills, experience and track record but also for their values, motivations and working style. Filtering candidates in this way provides a much higher-quality ‘long list’ for clients.
