HOW WE PARTNER WITH YOU
AND YOUR Portfolio Companies
HOW WE PARTNER WITH YOU AND YOUR Portfolio Companies

KEY POSITION TALENT ACQUISITION:
Leadership stability is key for portfolio companies to meet their goals on time. We specialize in finding top executives (C-level, VP, Director) on a retained or contingency basis, with a focus on filling CFO roles, a common challenge in PE.

BROADER RECRUITING SERVICES
Most Portfolio or PE-backed companies lack large talent acquisition teams. As your partner we collaborate with you to staff one-off projects effectively, serving as your “HR consultant” to ensure timely project completion.

I had an extremely great experience with Frederick Fox. I never leave any good reviews for anything, but I feel like I need to after having so much help with acquiring a new form of employment. Faith was extremely helpful in explaining and planning everything. Faith helped me navigate the interview process and prepped me before hand. She was also really helpful in salary negotiations. Thank you so much.Posted on Google![]()

I am absolutely thrilled with the support I received partnering with Frederick Fox. Amy and Faith were fantastic guides throughout the entire process. Faith, in particular, was exceptional—she was incredibly detailed, kind, and excellent in every interaction. They clearly had their finger on the pulse! They truly understood the atmosphere and the key players within the company where I was ultimately hired. I'm glad I chose to partner with Frederick Fox and highly recommend their team.Posted on Google![]()

Recently and suddenly, I was contacted by a Frederick Fox recruiter, Rob Thomas, regarding an open attorney position at another firm. Rob was very helpful and arranged everything, including the initial and final interviews, and stayed in touch constantly. At every step of the way, Rob listened to me and was able to communicate my needs to the prospective employer, resulting in a new job that is proving to be a great fit for me. I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity and for Rob's efforts in making it happen!!Posted on Google![]()

I had an awesome experience working with Jeremy at Frederick Fox! He made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and even helped me think through a counteroffer strategy, which really showed how much he cares about candidates. He checked in after I started my new role too — truly a great recruiter to work with!Posted on Google![]()

Our company filled a Sales Dev Rep role with Frederick Fox. While the first candidate we hired did not end up working out, his team fulfilled the guarantee to backfill the position at no cost (per the contract). They did so efficiently and with GREAT candidates in the 2nd lineup. Thank you as always!!Posted on Google![]()

I had the pleasure of working with Michael Schroeder for a position at Southbend. He prepared me for upcoming meetings, provided guidelines on the process and advice whenever needed. He is always available and continues to follow up with me, even after i signed my contract. This is the first time I have had a recruiter and has been an absolutely amazing experience.Posted on Google![]()

I just want to let everyone know of the amazing experience I had with Frederick Fox. I worked with Faith and, thanks to her, I was able to land a dream job. This is the first time I have had a recruiter work so diligently to have everything go so smooth. She was on top of everything! She is so experienced and thorough. She worked my application like she was the one applying for the job. :-) I can't say enough good things about her. That is how grateful I am. I didn't believe in recruiters until Frederick Fox came along. Thank you so much, Faith. You are top notch! :-)))))Posted on Google![]()
