Carlyle Group

Carlyle Group makes a disproportionate investment in managing its intellectual capital. We view our research as the engine that drives each search engagement.

• Our unique methods of knowledge management go beyond candidate identification to provide a broader, conceptual understanding of an industry, an organization, a department, or even an individual executive. Each person on the search team becomes a subject matter expert.
• Our research professionals hold advanced degrees in information and library science. This provides academic know-how in selecting, validating and employing primary and secondary research sources.
• Since our research professionals provide such a high level of service, each search is conducted with precision, dedication, and sophistication.
• We have an uncommonly high ratio of researchers to recruiters. Throughout the course of a search, our recruiters have real-time data and remain fully aware of key players, the competitive landscape, and intricate details of an organization’s hierarchy.
• Speed is a hallmark of our knowledge management group and enables Carlyle Group to present candidates for client interview within the first 30 days of the search, on average.
• Our targeted and specialized research contributes to our 92% placement rate, a rare accomplishment when compared to the industry average.
