Artemis partners with private equity firms and their portfolio companies on confidential leadership searches, add-on and M&A hires, and contract teams across accounting, finance, operations and technology. We find talent in the market, not on the market.
Portfolio companies need the right person on a deal timeline, often quietly. We build every search around that reality.
Replacing an executive, preparing for a transaction, or building ahead of an add-on often can't be posted publicly. These searches have to run confidentially.
Hold periods are finite. An open CFO or controller seat delays reporting, integration, and the value creation plan, further extending exits.
Every bolt-on brings new systems, new entities, and new people to integrate, and the existing finance team is rarely sized for it.
Leaders need experience with sponsor reporting, lender covenants, and a fast-moving board, which narrows every search.
We recruit permanent and contract talent for private equity firms and portfolio companies, from operating executives to the finance and technology teams that carry out the plan.
Every search is built to put a small set of qualified, interested candidates in front of your hiring team.
Candidates are interviewed and assessed by your delivery manager before they reach your calendar.
We approach passive candidates as an ambassador for your company, so the people you meet already want the conversation.
Deal context, reporting needs, systems, location, and compensation are covered early, so late-stage surprises don't stall the search.
Every search is staffed by a client team, a research team, specialist recruiters, and a delivery manager who owns the outcome from kickoff to signed offer or contract start.
We start with the investment thesis, the value creation plan, and the timeline. Our client team defines the experience, stage, and systems the role needs, plus compensation, location, and whether it's permanent or contract.
Our research team maps proven performers at sponsor-backed companies, comparable businesses, and the firms that advise them.
Specialist recruiters approach passive candidates confidentially as an ambassador for your firm or portfolio company, then interview and qualify them.
Your delivery manager assesses every candidate and presents only the most qualified, then manages the process through offer and acceptance.
CEO, CFO, and VP searches run quietly, including replacements that can't be announced.
Integration, finance, and operating leaders to support bolt-ons, carve-outs, and post-close plans.
Finance leaders who can modernize reporting and lead an ERP rollout, not just keep the books.
Contract professionals across accounting, finance, and technology for closes, integrations, audits, and system projects.
Permanent hires, interim leaders, and contract-to-hire options to match each point in the hold period.
A single point of accountability from kickoff to signed offer, backed by a research team and specialist recruiters.
No borrowed logos or inflated numbers. Here is how we actually work with private equity firms and portfolio companies.
Headhunters and contract talent specialists focused on finance, accounting, technology, and operating leadership for sponsor-backed companies.
We target proven performers at top competitors and aligned companies who aren't actively searching.
Our headhunters work on a contingency basis, so budgets go toward hires, not retainers.
The same team can fill a portfolio company's next executive, its controller, and the contract team that supports the next close or integration.
One executive seat, a contract team, or hires across the portfolio, share the roles and your timeline. A member of our private equity team will follow up to scope the search. Conversations are confidential.
