Candidates — Bayswater Consulting Group

For candidates

Your career, handled with discretion

We work with a select group of senior professionals in private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and asset management — connecting exceptional talent with mandates that genuinely align with where they want to go next.

We do not post roles publicly or circulate resumes broadly. Every conversation is confidential and every introduction is made with your knowledge and consent.

Investment professionals

From VP-level investors to Managing Directors and General Partners — we place investment talent across PE, VC, and hedge fund platforms at every stage of the career arc.

Associate VP Principal Partner GP

Operator executives

C-suite and functional leaders placed into PE and VC-backed portfolio companies — executives who thrive in high-growth, sponsor-owned environments and understand the demands of an accelerated timeline.

CEO CFO COO CRO CHRO

Fund-level leadership

Investor Relations, Risk, Compliance, and Operations professionals who keep sophisticated fund platforms running — and who want to land in an environment that matches their caliber.

01

A real conversation, not a screening

Our first call is a genuine discussion about your career — where you’ve been, what you’ve built, and what the right next chapter looks like. We’re not reading from a checklist.

02

Access to roles that aren’t advertised

The most consequential opportunities in this market are never posted. We bring retained mandates to candidates who are the right fit — not the other way around.

03

Honest positioning, not flattery

We’ll tell you where you’re genuinely competitive and where you’re not. A well-positioned candidate has a far better outcome than one who’s been oversold into the wrong process.

04

Preparation that makes a difference

Before any introduction, we brief you thoroughly on the firm, the mandate, the decision-makers, and what matters to them. You walk in prepared, not guessing.

05

Feedback at every stage

You’ll know where you stand throughout. Real-time feedback after each interview — not radio silence followed by a yes or no at the end.

06

Negotiation support through the finish line

We stay engaged through offer, negotiation, and acceptance — including navigating the complexities of carry, co-invest, and deferred comp structures common in this market.

How we treat the people we represent

Our reputation with candidates is as important to us as our reputation with clients. The best searches happen when both sides trust the firm in the middle.

Your information stays with us

We never share your resume, background, or interest in a role with any third party without your explicit consent. Full stop.

We respect your time

We won’t bring you into a process that isn’t genuinely relevant, isn’t moving forward, or where you’re not a serious candidate. Quality over volume, always.

We tell you the truth

If a client’s feedback is hard to hear, you’ll hear it from us — constructively and privately. You can’t improve on what you don’t know.

A long-term relationship, not a transaction

We stay in touch after placement. Many of the candidates we’ve placed become clients later — and our best introductions have come from people who remember how we worked.

Your search remains entirely confidential

Many of the professionals we work with are currently employed, highly visible in their markets, and cannot afford exposure. We structure every engagement to protect your position — including how we approach references, how we communicate during a process, and how we handle outcomes that don’t go forward.

Considering your next move?

Whether you’re actively looking or simply open to the right opportunity, we’d welcome a confidential conversation. There’s no obligation — just a straightforward discussion about where you are and where you might want to go.
