Family Office Executive Search Challenge 4

I wanted to explain to you a few family office recruiting challenges. I think that the family office industry is one of the most difficult industries to navigate if you are a career professional, but even more so to find great talent that is experienced in the right types of way for your family office. There are many different things that make it nearly impossible to easily find people who are experienced in the family office space, especially if you’re a single family office. 

Here is the first family office executive search challenge:

4. There are one or two more challenges I would like to mention to you real quick. One is comp levels. To get the best talent that can wear multiple hats and move quickly and really serve a family office well you often do have to pay close to top dollar and a lot of family offices are ran by entrepreneurs that are somewhat thrifty and have watched the dollar from the beginning to make sure it is not spent unwisely. And they might not be comfortable paying $750,000 or $650,000 a year. So that can be a challenge just overcoming that hurdle can be a big problem.

 
I hope this advice is helpful to you if you are just getting into the family office industry or trying to recruit people for the first time.
