- PrivateEquityJobs.com
- Founded in 2008 by an executive recruiter who has focused on the Private Equity and Hedge Fund market for over ten years, this site offers exclusive listings in this particular field to persons who register for their site. Their client base (meaning employers and recruiters) includes private equity firms, hedge funds, venture capital, private equity real estate and family offices. I do not see this information on their site, but the email I received from the CEO states they have a no-cost "basic" membership along with a "premium" service. Please review the entire site and the Terms and Conditions prior to registering and selecting the fee-based option.
