Mission context :
To deploy a new fund, Singular needed to strengthen the investment team and structure the company internally. The assignment included two challenges:
- Recruiting key profiles
- Create a best-in-class recruitment process
What made the difference
We spent a lot of time (2 days a week) with the Singular teams to understand their day-to-day operations and what makes a good early stage VC investor.
We analyzed the performance of our personas on an ongoing basis, to learn what was blocking us and improve our sourcing on an ongoing basis.
As regards the skills we didn't know about, we had a lot of discussions with the Singular teams and other investment funds. In addition, we were able to forge a strong conviction by meeting dozens of candidates.
