The Demand For Investment Management Talent

Has Never Been Higher

My name is Tracie Janoska, Founder of Volar Executive Search, and I help Investment Management Leaders hiring of both high-producing individual contributors as well as leadership, without compromising an ounce of quality.

Are you looking for championship-caliber Investment Management talent? Or...are you confidentially looking for your next strategic career move? Book a call below and let's get started.

It could be the most profitable conversation you've had in a long time.

The demand for Investment Management talent continues to outpace supply, exacerbated by the near-record low unemployment rate.

This leaves financial executives frustrated trying to manage understaffed teams, unfilled job openings, and increased risk of making the wrong hire.

The result? Decreased morale, higher turnover rates, shrinking market share, potential profit losses, and more stress. All of these consequences are directly related to a flawed recruitment process.

Add to that the fact that championship-caliber investment talent ignores most recruiters and avoids job boards like the plague, and just makes your job as a leader even harder.

That's why at Volar Executive Search, our promise to you is simple:

We will move mountains to build the team of your dreams.
