Encore works across five verticals where people are the constraint on growth, and where headhunting beats posting.
Every company rises or falls on the same thing. Not capital, not strategy. People.
Independent RIA founders, breakaway teams, and acquisitive platforms hire differently than corporate buyers. The pool is small, deeply networked, and rarely on LinkedIn, and the economics turn on whether the book moves. We grow advisor headcount and run lift-outs that move entire teams of advisors.
Representative roles
Senior Advisor · Advisor Team Lift-outs · Managing Director · Head of Wealth · COO of RIA
The PE and VC partners we work with don't split hiring into the fund and the companies they back. They think in terms of who needs to be in which seat to execute the plan. We recruit the investment and operating leaders who run the fund, on a performance-based model built for the pace deals actually move at.
Representative roles
Managing Partner · Operating Partner · IR Leadership · Platform & Value Creation · Portfolio Operations
When a PE or VC-backed company hires, the leaders running the company have different priorities than the partner who backed them. We work directly with those leaders, on the searches they own. These are the biggest, fastest-moving searches we run: mid-market to large-cap, across industries.
Representative roles
CEO · President / COO · CRO · CFO · VP Sales · VP Engineering / CTO
Legal, accounting, and consulting firms grow on the lateral market and on the partners who bring a book. We recruit the partners whose names bring clients with them, and the revenue and growth leaders who build the firm around them.
Representative roles
Partner · Practice Group Leader · Managing Director · Chief Revenue Officer · Chief Growth Officer
Energy, manufacturing, and industrial companies compete for a specialized and shrinking pool of technical and operational leaders. We recruit the people who run plants, scale operations, and lead the technical functions these businesses are built on, with real depth in Texas markets.
Representative roles
Plant Manager · General Manager · VP Operations · Chief Commercial Officer · VP Engineering
We focus on five verticals where people are the constraint on growth. If your business doesn't fit cleanly into one of them, we still might be the right firm.
