​Private Equity

The world of banking is home to some of the highest paying jobs around, and private equity experts are a prime example. At its simplest, Private Equity experts acquire or invest in private businesses with the aim to improve their value over time. In practice, the private equity space is extremely complex, consisting of countless rules and regulations, structures, extensive jargon, and highly specialised professionals.

It’s hard to get started in the industry, especially since previous experience in the finance industry is almost always a requirement. From account management and fundraising to financial modelling and business analysis, private equity professionals boast incredibly robust and versatile skillsets. According to Indeed, the average private equity associate role salary in London (the entry level that many private equity professionals begin their careers at) is £68,489 a year, with the VP wage raising to £120,769.

Alongside the high base salary, private equity jobs usually benefit from great bonuses based on their performance, usually in the form of commissions as a result of securing deals. Private equity presents some truly narrow career paths, and as a result, hiring criteria is often extensive (and rigid). For those of you looking to take on private equity experts, it’s important to make sure you secure the right candidate the first time. Whether you’re looking for a deal-maker, a fundraiser, an analyst, or someone that can handle all of the above, it’s worth staying selective.

Hiring inside the same old networks you’ve always relied on can result in a shrinking talent pool or worse, a homogenised one.

Business Protection and Enablement Recruitment Services in Dublin

Business is booming in Dublin. From the rapidly expanding Fintech landscape, to the thriving tech sector, there are plenty of opportunities for anyone hoping to carve out a career in a truly astonishing city. Dublin is an attractive prospect for overseas talent, boasting a high standard of living and extremely competitive wages, particularly in the world of business enablement and business protection.


A business-friendly tax scheme (one of the lowest corporate tax rates in all of Europe) and a sturdy economy make the city an enticing prospect for entrepreneurs, and as a hotspot for ambitious tech companies, there’s a wealth of talent to tap into. It’s not just the business benefits that convince investors and individuals to flock to Dublin, it’s the city itself. With an unmistakable charm, a unique beauty, and an energy that you scarcely find anywhere on the planet, Dublin is a hub of culture.


Here at Broadgate, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed delivering staffing solutions to businesses all over Dublin, and we’ve had a great time establishing our presence in the city. We like to be in the heart of the action, and while we work hard to make sure our flexible working policy is reliable, we recognise the value of a strong physical presence in the markets that you’re working in. Our Dublin office is home to a passionate bunch of highly specialised consultants, all of whom have a wealth of experience in recruiting for risk and analytics, finance, accounting and audit, compliance, legal and financial crime, transformation and change, and other areas relating to business protection and business enablement.

Among soaring demand for talent, the threat of a looming recession, and the incredible growth of sectors in the city, Dublin’s companies are going to need to pull out all the stops to secure the right candidates. This can make it difficult for companies struggling with their talent pipeline, particularly those who are looking to scale quickly and build diverse teams.


The recruitment process can take its toll on time, money, and team morale if you keep getting it wrong. The consequences of a bad hire are wide-reaching, and they can be hard to undo. Here at Broadgate, we use a community-led, diversity-focussed hiring methodology to ensure that we pinpoint the best people for the job, while making the best possible impact on the wider world.


A lot of the time, internal hiring managers will rely heavily on their personal networks to source candidates, or they’ll resort to a range of job boards (which everyone else has access to), and this means they’re in no position to benefit from the potential of a wider talent pool. Whether you’re looking to fill exceptionally niche finance director jobs in Dublin, or you’re just moving to the city and want to start a new career, we can utilise our expansive, exclusive, and reliable talent network to find you the best opportunities.
