Expertise
Variner is a search firm dedicated to discovering best in class intellectual capital in both conventional and unconventional channels. We believe human capital is the differentiating factor in our clients' success, and are resolute in our approach to identify this talent. We partner with mid-market principal investing firms, growth equity funds, family offices, and corporate M&A/Venture teams to help identify and qualify investment professionals that are well suited for their investment style and culture.
At Variner, we believe that a well-executed search is more than a process. It's a methodology or series of processes. These processes don't start and end with one search, in a vacuum. They are a state of mind. They are methodologies that are ever present and constantly evolving in our consultants' lives and work product - submitted candidates.
Our Approach
DISCOVERY
We understand recruiting the best candidate, whether active or passive, means constantly recruiting. In a world filled with job boards, online postings, web portals, and other impersonal means of narrowing a candidate universe, it is strategic networking wherein recruiting actually occurs.
MARKET INSIGHTS
We understand the career cycles of investment bankers, consultants, principal investors, and corporate professionals. We know when to reach out to candidates to keep in touch, and know how to recruit both active and passive candidates.
PARTNERING
Beyond pre-determined career and recruiting cycles, we understand our candidate's overall career trajectory. By partnering with candidates over the course of their career we have a keen understanding of their likelihood of being a valuable addition to your team.
