Frequently Asked Questions About Family Office Recruitment

Do We Service Multi-Family Offices?

Our Family Office Executive Search firm works with single-family and multi-family offices that require superior talent to lead and flourish in today’s environment. In either case, we ensure your goal is the same: managing the financial assets (wealth management) of a family to grow them before transferring them to younger generations at a specified time, managing your family needs, and coordinating all of your endeavors in a united fashion.

How Does a Family Office Retained Search firm Help?

As one of the most successful Family Office search firms in the country, we help connect top-tier candidates to single and multi-family offices. With almost 40 years of experience, our expertise, a proven track record, and our extensive database, we quickly identify candidates for single-family and multi-family offices. Our first criteria is to ensure that the candidates are a strong cultural fit for your firm.

Family offices need to be able to acquire a long-term view of the family’s needs to effectively grow assets over time. We vet candidates utilizing the highest standards in the industry and the most sophisticated technology to determine what their goals are and ensure they align with the goals of each family office.
Finding Candidates for Family Offices Nationwide and Internationally

Our consultative approach includes helping our family offices successfully achieve their business objectives by evaluating your current infrastructure, governance, and human capital and ensuring that each family office is utilizing the very best practices to optimize their performance.

What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Family Office Executive Search Firm?

Family Offices often search for years trying to find the right talent for their needs. We can eliminate the time being spent on hiring, by investing the time upfront, to determine what roles are needed and the type of people that would fit your needs. With almost 40 years of experience assisting Family Offices, we have the expertise and the knowledge to help each family identify their true hiring needs and the type of individuals that they need for those roles. We eliminate the time wasted by interviewing unqualified candidates or candidates that are not sincerely seeking a new opportunity. With our vast expertise and extensive database of family office candidates, we can identify candidates that are active, passive, or not even looking at all, and therefore bring the best talent available to you on an exclusive basis.

By identifying family office candidates that are not on the market, we can eliminate the competition by other employers, as we have more control over them. We are also astute enough to know that every top candidate will be subject to a counteroffer from their current family office employer, and we know how to deal effectively with that issue.

Hiring a specialist recruitment firm, such as The Quest Organization, is the best way to get connected with the most talented candidates. Leave the search to highly experienced family office recruiters who know exactly what to look for to suit your needs.
