A Philosophy That Works

Focus on Value Creation

Executing value creation plans is a critical component of generating returns for private equity. To do this, it is essential to have the right talent.

Talent Recruitment as a Science

Our approach is driven by evidence and data. This ensures the best outcomes for our clients and their investors. This is so embedded in what we do, our founder wrote a book on it (Evidence Based Recruiting by Atta Tarki).

Technology Ensures Transparency

CASCADE®, our proprietary recruitment system, provides transparency into the search process.

Powered by CASCADE®

The recruiting industry lacks transparency, so we built a proprietary talent management system to provide clients with real time search data. At any point in the process, clients have a complete view of the pipeline, all the candidates being considered, and the underlying metrics to ensure an ideal outcome.

View search items at any time: search pipeline by the numbers, new and in-process candidates, candidate details

View and download latest candidates in a digestible, executive-ready deck format

Salary database with proprietary, sanitized data for hundreds of titles, industries, and locations

Private Equity

Proven Results for Private Equity

More than 85% of our clients are investor owned or backed, including Thoma Bravo, General Atlantic, and Charlesbank Capital Partners. This can be with the PE firm directly, for portfolio operations leaders, or with portfolio companies in need of critical talent like CFOs or interim resources.

Corporate Strategy

Corporate Strategy is in Our DNA

Most of our clients have some sort of consulting background, which is how we got our start. Our leadership team comes from places like McKinsey, Bain, BCG and other top consulting firms. We work with corporate clients across a wide range of industries including Facebook, Bed Bath & Beyond, Pfizer, and Morgan Stanley.

See What Our Clients Say

“ECA understood our unique requirements and delivered great candidates with the right skills, personality and attitude. I would highly recommend partnering with them.”

Steven Eldam

SVP Recycling and Supply Chain

“It was one of the smoothest and most enjoyable executive search processes that I have ever experienced. You were focused, efficient, effective and very communicative.”

John J-H Kim

CEO and Founder

“ECA is different in the way they manage the entire search process. For our team, this meant a detailed upfront understanding of our business, systematic candidate outreach, interviews, analytical assessments, scheduling support, and offer management. This helped us spend time with only the best candidates.”

Irina Egorova

Vice President

“We engaged ECA for a subsidiary company CEO search. We chose ECA because of their experience in private equity and their commitment to both a tight timeframe and options by funneling a large volume of candidates from their network. What surprised me most though was how they took the time to truly understand the business and its culture, which is so absolutely critical when it comes to key talent decisions. The search process ended with three superior candidates.”

Mike Davies

Principal

“ECA has by far the best process. They were transparent upfront that they had never done a VP Engineering search before, but they asked good questions, quickly learned what they needed to, and were great thought partners in the evolution of our thinking on which profiles would be best. We’ll definitely call them for future senior leadership searches and project consultant needs.”

Alex Amin

CEO

“ECA’s management consulting-style quality and processes helped us identify and select the best candidate, fast.”
