How We Work

Understand. Analyze. Execute.

— 01

Understand

Every search begins with listening. We learn the candidate's career arc and the platform's true requirements before any name is put forward.

— 02

Analyze

We pressure-test fit, comp, timing, and culture against the broader market. The advice we give is built on years of experience and a deep understanding of the markets we serve.

— 03

Execute

A positive outcome — every time. Placements that last. Hires that compound. Career moves that move the needle.

In Their Words

What clients and candidates tell us.

Jonathan was straight with me from day one. He knew the firm better than the reverse diligence I'd done myself, and he flagged things about the team I never would have surfaced on my own.

Portfolio ManagerMajor Activist Hedge Fund · New York

JHB has been our retained search partner for five years. They've placed associates, principals, and senior investors for us, and the bench they've built is a real reason we've been able to scale the platform. They are a trusted partner.

PartnerTier 1 Global Venture Capital Fund · San Francisco

Other firms send résumés. JHB sends a point of view — on the candidate, the market, the comp, and where the risks are. That's what we pay for.

Chief Operating OfficerSpecial Situation Credit Fund · Greenwich

They told us our brief was wrong before they'd run the search. Awkward conversation, right call. We rebriefed and had the right person in front of us within six weeks.

Founding PartnerGrowth Equity · New York

Discreet, senior, and unflappable. They handled a sensitive C-suite search exactly the way you'd want it handled — quietly, with judgment, and without drama.

Chief Investment OfficerFamily Office · Miami

Honestly the most useful conversation I had during the whole process was the one where Jonathan told me not to take the job. Two years later, JHB found me a platform that fits perfectly.

Managing DirectorPrivate Credit Fund · London
