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 expand our team to enhance our capability and capacity to provide trusted advisory services. 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, demanding, but also rewarding and stimulating.

About the Role

As a key member of our team, you will support and eventually lead referencing projects. This role is vital for both service delivery and business growth.

The responsibilities include:

• Conducting detailed reference calls and taking accurate notes
• Writing reports by analysing and summarising reference calls

About the Candidate

The ideal candidate will have a recruitment background and wish to apply their skills in a different environment without the pressure of business development. Our work is niche and specialised; therefore, we do not require exact experience. We value transferable skills and experience. Full training will be provided, including in-house, on-the-job training, and external courses. Opportunities for professional qualification studies are available. Essential qualities include a willingness to learn, self-motivation, and teamwork. Suitable backgrounds include:

• 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 mindset
• High integrity

This is not an entry-level or graduate role. Prior relevant experience with transferable skills is essential. The position is UK-based, primarily remote, with monthly team meetings. Part-time hours may be considered for the right candidate. Salary will depend on experience.
