Why Invest in Recruiting?
Sourcing top talent has high ROI
Better outcomes, faster.
Why a recruiting partner?
- Faster start. Systems and processes are established; candidate data is organized and readily accessible; outreach is turnkey.
- Economies across searches. Dedicated recruiters work on multiple roles at once, creating efficiencies in outreach and screening.
- Dedicated focus on “A Players.” Top talent does not linger in the market. A specialized recruiter proactively pursues high‑impact hires.
Talent drives returns.
Why invest in “A Players?”
- Top talent executes top deals. In increasingly competitive private markets, team caliber directly impacts deal flow, underwriting, and ultimately, returns. Illustrative Example: ~5x ROI.
- Step-change in productivity. In finance, variance is high, with top candidates often more than 2-3x as productive as middling candidates.
- Retention & compounding. Strong players remain at the firm longer, reducing costly turnover, growing their roles, and freeing up senior time to create value.

Why GoBuyside?
How we’re different
Common Pain Points
- Slow processes. “We need an off-cycle immediate hire, and our search partner is off to a slow start.”
- Cluttered, email-based process. “I find myself digging through emails, re-reading resumes, and struggling to track where we are in the process.”
- Limited national coverage. “Our recruiter does a lot of investment placements, but they have a weak candidate base outside of NYC.”
- Limited market expertise. “We found a strong local partner, but they have a broad industry scope and don’t know the finance market well enough.”
- Second-tier status. “Our recruiting partner puts their anchor client first, and it shows. At times we don’t get their best candidates or their best effort.”
A Better Approach
- Fast, tech-enabled sourcing. Immediate outreach to an opt-in finance pool reduces time-to-fill.
- Centralized dashboard. Less resume scanning, more structured data. All candidate profiles, notes, and interview statuses in one place.
- Candidate breadth and depth. Tens of thousands of finance professionals, spanning all finance hubs throughout the U.S. and Canada.
- Market knowledge. From bonus and hiring cycles, day-to-day expectations, and compensation by fund size and city, we know your business.
- No second class citizens. Our business model is based on great service and long-term relationships across a diversified client base.
