Executive Recruiting
We believe talent is the foundation of category leadership. Our in-house recruiting team works closely with portfolio companies to place leaders who can scale operations and drive innovation.
With over 90% of hires directly sourced through the K1 network, we help teams scale at every stage of growth with the right talent – from functional experts to experienced operators.
Joining the K1 portfolio has been nothing less than amazing. K1’s ecosystem of advisors, strategic approach to value creation, and ability to attract leading talent have allowed us to align on both strategy and execution seamlessly.
I’m thrilled to be part of the innovative team at Emburse and the broader K1 portfolio. The collaborative spirit here, combined with K1’s strategic support, helps create an environment to drive growth as we seek to transform the finance industry together.
When K1 recruiting calls, get ready for your life to change. Smarsh’s leadership, technology, and culture immediately drew me in. With K1’s backing and their focus on B2B software, it’s an incredible opportunity to drive both growth and innovation.
The opportunity to join Simpro was one I couldn’t pass up. I was deeply impressed by K1’s focused investment strategy and Simpro’s leadership team, paired with a leading software for the trades industry, all during an exciting time of transformation and growth within the sector.
I’m thrilled to have joined Employ. Being part of K1, known for its commitment to scaling software companies, is an incredible opportunity. I look forward to leveraging K1’s experience to drive innovation and push the boundaries of what’s possible in talent acquisition.
Not first to market. Category leaders are best to market
