For Private Equity

Multiply your portfolio impact without multiplying your team.

Team Theory gives PE talent partners the infrastructure to deploy consistent, world-class hiring methodology across every portfolio company — generating the artifacts that used to require $50K consultants and weeks of calendar time.

You're the most under-resourced team in the firm.

You manage talent across 10, 20, sometimes 50 portfolio companies. Your team is 1-3 people. Every portfolio CEO needs you yesterday. And every time a critical hire goes wrong — the $250K severance, the 6-month setback, the board conversation — it falls on your shoulders.

Meanwhile, the tools at your disposal are either too expensive to scale (executive search consultants at $50K per engagement) or too generic to trust (ATS platforms that automate broken processes).

You need infrastructure. Not another tool.

What Changes With Team Theory

Go from 3 concurrent searches to 15.

Stop rationing your time. Team Theory generates finished scorecards, interview plans, and evaluation reports for every search across your portfolio — so you can spend your time coaching CEOs and building relationships, not creating documents.

Talent partners using Team Theory report 3-5x capacity increase within 60 days.

Artifacts that make deal partners take notice.

Every document Team Theory generates is board-ready. When you present a structured assessment with Mission-Outcome-Competency scorecards and evidence-based candidate evaluations, the conversation changes. Talent becomes a strategic function, not a cost center.

Portfolio-wide savings of $400K-$1M+ annually on executive assessments and search firm fees.

Same methodology. Every company. Every hire.

No more quality variance based on which talent partner handles the search, or which portfolio company happens to get attention this quarter. Team Theory enforces a single, proven methodology across your entire portfolio — with the flexibility to adapt to different stages, industries, and roles.

60-80% reduction in executive mis-hires across portfolio companies.
