Role: Referencing Specialist - Management Due Diligence Consultant (Venture Capital & Private Equity).

About the Company

Confidas People is a leading, independent consultancy specialising in Management Team Due Diligence and People Assessment to support Venture Capital and Private Equity investment. Founded in 2017, we have been experiencing consistent year-on-year growth, and are now looking to add to the team to improve our capability and capacity to provide trusted advisory services to our valued clients. We operate exclusively on behalf of venture capital and private equity firms, engaging with C-suite executives of ambitious, dynamic companies. All projects are fast-paced and demanding, but equally rewarding and stimulating.

About the Role

Working as a key member of our team, you will support and eventually lead referencing projects. This role is vital in delivering our work and growing the business.

The role will include:

• Detailed reference calls & accurate note-taking
• Report writing – analysing & summarising reference calls

About the candidate

The ideal candidate will have a recruitment background and wish to utilise existing skills in a different environment, without the pressures of business development. Our work is niche and specialist; we do not require exact experience but value transferable skills and experience. We offer full training, including in-house, on-the-job training, and external courses. There is also an opportunity to study for professional qualifications. The willingness to learn, self-motivation, and contribution to a high-performing team are essential. We consider candidates with experience in:

• Recruitment & Executive Search
• HR, especially within fast-growing venture capital or private equity-backed businesses
• Operational experience with significant people management and team building

Essential skills:

• Analytical problem-solving approach
• Ability to manage tight deadlines and work under pressure
• Confidence operating at a senior level
• Proactive and collaborative attitude
• High integrity

This is not an entry-level or graduate position. Due to the senior level, previous work experience with transferable skills is essential. The role is UK-based, with remote working, and team meetups once a month. Part-time hours may be considered for the right candidate. Salary will be based on experience.
