Executive Search & Assessment

“We help private markets firms hire exceptional people - with clarity, pace, and purpose.”

Founder - Stuart Paterson

Our deep experience, honest advice, and trusted network give clients and candidates a search experience built on clarity, care, and results.

Clarity, Pace, Precision

Trust

Trust is at the core of our success. Our clients and candidates rely on our expertise for career advice, compensation insights, and team building strategies. Confidentiality is paramount in all our conversations, ensuring trust remains our foundation.

Care

Our goal is simple: happiness. Through mutual growth, everyone in the process achieves success. Testament to this, around 90% of our business stems from repeat clients or recommendations, something that we are immensely proud of.

Relationship

We are here for the long term. We listen to understand, not just to respond and we don’t try to force a square peg into a round hole. Our value lies in the deep, extensive networks we have cultivated.

“We connect the best people with private market funds, achieving mutual growth, one conversation at a time.”

We run an unbiased process:
66% of our placements are women or ethnically diverse men

We build lasting relationships

Our network runs deep across private equity, venture capital, private debt, real assets, infrastructure, and energy transition.

We’ve spent years earning trust in this space, placing talent from analyst to partner level with firms that value precision, pace, and long-term alignment.

Good people. Good business. Real impact.

We built Allbyn to do good work - and to do some good.

From the start, we knew success wasn’t just about great hires. It was also about giving back in ways that matter.

That’s why we donate a portion of every fee to causes our team and community care about. We’ve also taken meaningful steps to reduce our footprint, including becoming a certified carbon-neutral business.
