Evolve Partners has been acquired by hyrUP. Evolve Partners is an exclusive recruiting, executive search and talent advisory firm—considering only the most driven professionals with current or former public accounting experience or elite financial backgrounds, and those with best in class technology, marketing or growth experience —for key roles in high-growth companies across the US. We help professionals and clients move forward, faster. Clients: Not only do we provide executive search services for the c-suite, but we provide you with a similar level of service and quality for everyone below the executive level, with tailored recruiting packages. We are here to help build out your team, often after a fundraising round, or to help you expand or upgrade your team due growth plans. You’ll know all professionals we work with have been vetted against our strict requirements and that we have spent significant time establishing those relationships to best understand cultural and business fit. We also recognize we are often the first impression representing your firm and need to act in sync with your brand and values. We can get your firm, and opportunity, in front of the best talent out there. Professionals: We are not interested in a single transaction, rather we strive to partner throughout your career to keep you aware of growth opportunities over time. We are an information resource and can provide deep insight into the market - even if you are not looking to make a move. Overall, we help you understand the market so you know what opportunities you are giving up to stay in the one you're in - and therefore making sure you are always in the best position and growing.
