Our Services & Expertise
What is the difference between Talent Acquisition and Talent Development?
Talent Acquisition is focused on finding and hiring the right people for your team. Our service goes beyond traditional recruiting by strategically identifying and attracting elite talent. Talent Development is focused on improving the skills and performance of your existing employees through executive coaching and training programs.
What types of roles do you specialize in placing?
We specialize in placing senior-level and highly specialized roles within the alternative investment industry. Our expertise includes positions in operations, compliance, investor relations, investment management, and more.
Can Arootah help us with internal team training and development?
Yes. Our Talent Development services include bespoke training programs and group coaching sessions designed to address your team’s specific needs, improve cohesion, and boost overall performance. We can work with groups of any size, from a small leadership team to an entire department.
Our Process & Engagement
How does your talent acquisition process work?
Our process involves three key phases:
- Discovery: We conduct a thorough needs assessment to understand your firm’s unique requirements, culture, and strategic objectives.
- Sourcing & Vetting: We tap into our exclusive network to find top-tier candidates who often aren’t actively on the job market. We rigorously vet each candidate to ensure a perfect match.
- Placement & Integration: We facilitate the hiring process and provide post-placement support to ensure a smooth transition and long-term success.
How long does it typically take to fill a position?
The timeline varies based on the role’s seniority and specialization. However, our targeted approach often significantly reduces the time-to-hire compared to traditional methods, as we present a curated list of pre-vetted candidates rather than a broad pool.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. We offer a complimentary strategy session with one of our expert advisors. This allows us to discuss your specific talent needs and determine the best approach to help you achieve your goals.
Results & Benefits
How is Arootah different from a traditional recruiting agency?
Unlike traditional recruiters who often focus on a large volume of placements, we operate as a strategic partner. We leverage our deep industry knowledge and insider network to identify and secure elite talent. Our focus is on quality, not quantity, to ensure long-term success for both the firm and the new hire.
How do you handle confidentiality for sensitive searches?
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our service. We operate with the utmost discretion and have strict protocols in place to protect the identity of both our clients and our candidates throughout the entire search process.
What kind of ROI can we expect from investing in talent development?
Investing in talent development leads to a range of benefits, including improved employee retention, higher productivity, enhanced leadership capabilities, and a stronger company culture.
