PE & VC FUNDS

The search firm that knows what a portfolio company hire actually does.

PE and VC firms across APAC bring Pivot in when a portfolio company needs to hire. We act as the fund's trusted search partner — moving at the pace the investment timeline demands, and holding the hiring bar the fund expects.

How we partner with funds

One search partner across your whole portfolio.

Funds don't have time to brief a new agency for every portfolio hire. We become the standing search partner across your companies — so the context carries over, the bar stays consistent, and the next search starts faster than the last.

Speed that matches the investment cycle

Post-close, portfolio companies need to move fast. We run tight, high-quality searches — not slow, broad ones.

Wired into the AI industry

Tentacles deep in APAC AI. Our network spans Product & Engineering, Go-to-Market, and market mapping — so we already know who's good before the search starts.

Model-fitted talent, not just available talent

We scope every brief directly with fund and company leadership. Shortlists reflect the standard the fund expects — not just what's on the market.

100% retention on placed candidates

Our track record holds across every placement. We don't fill seats — we find the right person for the stage and culture of the company.

how it works

The bridge between your fund and your portfolio's next hire.

We sit between the investor and the business — carrying the fund's standard on one side and deep talent networks on the other. Funds bring the mandate and the bar; we bring industry know-how, an expert network, and the right people. One relationship, connecting all your portfolio companies to the talent they need.
