Our Services, Capabilities & Approach

How We Are Different

FOCUS

We specialise in front office hires across a core group of strategies. We have a long history assisting credit fund managers and private equity clients, we also work with leveraged finance, structured credit, distressed and real estate debt banking teams. Focusing solely on investment & IR hires allows our team to pool resources and focus our output in one direction


RESEARCH
We believe in producing highly analytical market intelligence reports for the individual fund management strategies we track. Our scientific approach to developing market maps offers our clients far more insight than simply who works where. We track funds, their performance, their fund-raising history and analyse funds under management

RETAINED SEARCH 

When partnering on a retained basis, Waterman Stern deliver tailored and bespoke research with comprehensive market intelligence to support key strategic hires. Our methodology and approach is to operate exhaustively and systematically. We produce full market reports alongside market compensation analysis and market mapping. Clients prefer to operate on a retained basis for critical hires, typically these are senior placements


CONTINGENT SEARCH

We may suggest operating on a contingency basis for opportunistic hires. Through this service targeted and relevant candidates will be introduced based on a more limited search. Through this service candidates are interviewed, thoroughly briefed and will be fully qualified for a specific hire. Due to the increased execution risk on our part, a contingency search may be costlier to execute incurring a higher price for our clients
