18 June 2014, New York, NY — OneWire, the leading career site for finance professionals, today announced a new partnership with EMPEA, the global industry association for private capital in emerging markets. According to EMPEA’s Talent Management Survey, competition for qualified talent at private equity firms is expected to intensify in most emerging markets over the next five years, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and Emerging Asia. The partnership was formed to support this growing industry by deepening the candidate pool and providing tools to efficiently find highly skilled individuals to fill open positions. EMPEA Members and other industry practitioners will benefit from OneWire’s competitive job opportunities, stronger recruiting technology, and access to a community of qualified talent.

Combining OneWire’s community of over 360,000 finance professionals with EMPEA’s global industry reach in developed and developing markets, a powerful Job Board has been launched on EMPEA’s website. EMPEA Member Firms are distinguished on the platform and receive discounted rates on job postings and OneWire’s other recruitment services. Candidates can access the Job Board and apply to jobs free-of-charge.

OneWire’s recruiting solutions offer greater access to qualified talent for the full spectrum of private capital players, including fund managers, institutional investors, industry advisers and portfolio companies. Additionally, EMPEA Members can leverage the OneWire Executive Search team, which specializes in private equity and hedge fund placements, for customized services at reduced rates. Whether looking for an Associate in India or a Managing Director fluent in French and Swahili, OneWire’s comprehensive professional community and proven search technology can help EMPEA’s Members reach the right talent.

“OneWire is dedicated to helping firms connect with the best talent for their organizations,” said OneWire CEO, Skiddy von Stade. “The emerging markets category is expanding rapidly, and we look forward to supporting EMPEA Member Firms as they continue to grow.”

Through the partnership, the EMPEA community will also gain access to OneWire’s job feed of highly competitive and current private equity opportunities. Members access the jobs directly from the EMPEA website and apply through the OneWire platform.

“EMPEA is committed to providing our members with the resources they need to remain competitive in today’s market and to supporting the development of private capital industries in emerging markets,” said Robert W. van Zwieten, President and CEO of EMPEA. “Our partnership with OneWire will provide substantial value for our members by helping them access an enhanced pool of global and local talent.”
