About Arootah
Arootah is a talent solutions firm purpose-built for the alternative investment industry. We advise and we execute, covering the full talent spectrum from entry to exit across five services: Talent Acquisition, Fractional Leadership, Talent Development, Retention & Compensation, and Transition.
Most talent firms solve one problem. Because we cover the full spectrum, we can help clients identify and solve the right one. We start with diagnosis, then deliver.
Our team has run alternative investment firms at the highest levels as COOs, CFOs, and CCOs. That operator experience, combined with 15+ years of alternatives-specific recruiting and a network of 700+ vetted advisors across 18 functional disciplines, is what makes the advice credible and the execution reliable. We also draw on a network of 600+ coaches, deploying those with specific experience guiding senior executives in the alternatives industry.
One industry. One talent partner. Entry to exit.
