The great talent depression

by Contributor 8 December 2022

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to be invited to The Drawdown’s Operational Leaders’ Summit in Portugal. Against a sunny backdrop, various conversations revealed one recurring topic. Almost every representative from private equity firms agreed on the challenges recruiting and retaining talent. Search firm reports, industry reports and labour market analyses support these anecdotal experiences. In one report I read it remarked that firms had apparently tried ‘everything,’ with everything being free lunches, gym access and career coaching.
