In response to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, experts expect nearly 50 million new candidates to flood the market. For the first time in years, we’re seeing a shift from a so-called “candidate’s market” to an “employer’s market,” with a greater number of potential employees than there are open jobs. Many organizations and hiring managers are taking this time to rest on their laurels, assuming that candidates will come to them.
Founded in 2009, Spectrum fills a critical void in the marketplace: delivering access to world class talent to entrepreneurial and middle market-sized businesses, many of whom are owned by Private Equity firms. We recruit C-Suite talent for Private Equity firms and Functional Leaders for their Executive Management teams. It takes a certain type of candidate to thrive inside of these less structured and dynamic portfolio companies requiring very hands-on leaders who are doers. Successfully recruiting accomplished A players who have this profile is our core competency. Spectrum has built its entire team and business model around mastering the persuasion and systematic evaluation of these A players who generate significant impact.

Project which functions will no longer be needed and which will have to be adjusted, as well as what new functions will arise in this new economic climate. Assess how current staff can be retained and retrained in this new structure. Determine what openings exist after evaluating the current state of staff and functions. Factor in business continuity and redundancy needs when assessing workflows and staffing needs. Look for candidates who have worked successfully in virtual environments. All other qualifications being equal, the candidate who has worked in a remote capacity could assimilate faster. Look for candidates who are familiar with multiple virtual business platforms, such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom, Asana, Trello, proprietary VPNs, and CRMs of all kinds.
