What private capital employers are hiring for

RoleDemand tracks the private capital employers you name and reads their open roles from their own career pages every day. The seeded pack covers investment firms alongside the portfolio companies whose operating teams they build.

The pack also carries a comparison lens that splits the market in two: Investment firms against Portfolio operators. That is a pack setting rather than a product feature, so yours can split the market however your desk thinks about it.

All of them, then grouped by function and seniority so a desk can read the market at a glance. In private capital that usually means investment and deal teams, portfolio operations, and the finance leadership a fund installs after a deal.

Classification runs on every posting: function, seniority and the skills named in the description.

A fund closing, then a deal completing. The fund hires investment and portfolio operations people against the new vehicle, and the portfolio company hires a finance director and a controller within the first year of ownership, which is the placement most funds do not run through their own talent team.

None of that is a prediction. It describes the order employers advertise in, and it is why a daily read of a whole market beats a monthly read of a few: the roles that tell you something arrive before the announcement, and they are only visible while they are open.

The 21 employers in the seeded private capital pack publish their vacancies through 5 different applicant tracking platforms. 14 on Greenhouse, 4 on Workday, 1 on Recruitee, and the remaining 2 spread across 2 more. Reading that market by hand means opening 21 careers pages that behave 5 different ways, every day, before anyone has made a call.

RoleDemand reads 34 of these platforms, which is what makes a daily pass over a whole market practical. The full list and the stages of a run are on how it works.

The seeded private capital pack carries 21 employers, every one of them a real business whose public applicant tracking endpoint was checked by hand. How many a client's own pack holds is set by the plan: Core tracks up to 50, Plus up to 100.

An employer joins a pack only after their careers endpoint has been fetched and the response read. An endpoint that could not be confirmed is left out rather than recorded optimistically.

It refreshes every day. A run collects each employer's open roles, works out what opened and closed since the previous cycle, and rebuilds the dashboard, so a consultant is quoting the last 24 hours rather than the last quarter.

The public sample dashboard is a build of the renewable energy pack rather than this one. The interface, the modules and the insight pack are the same in every market; only the employers and the role groupings change.

RoleDemand Core costs £169 a month and tracks up to 50 private capital employers. RoleDemand Plus costs £299 a month and tracks up to 100. Both are per agency rather than per seat, setting the private capital market up is included, and an agency that finds the first insight pack unhelpful can cancel inside 30 days.

Core at £169 a month tracks up to 50 employers, and covers setting the pack up, the daily refresh, the dashboard and the insight pack. Plus at £299 doubles that to 100 employers and takes changes to the list and the role groupings on request. The cancellation window and the rate lock are on the pricing page.
