PE/VC Talent Solutions
Specialized Microsoft Dynamics & NetSuite Talent Acquisition
DynamicsFocus is the only boutique recruiting firm exclusively focused on helping Private Equity and Venture Capital firms de-risk technology transitions and partner acquisitions through strategic talent planning and placement.
Two Critical Scenarios Where PE/VC Firms Need Us
Whether you’re acquiring companies transitioning to modern ERP systems or acquiring the consulting partners themselves, we have the specialized expertise to ensure talent doesn’t become your risk factor.
📊 Portfolio Company ERP Transitions
De-Risking NetSuite & Dynamics 365 Implementations
The Challenge
You acquire a portfolio company. You mandate NetSuite or Dynamics 365. Six months later: delays, 40% cost overruns, frustrated leadership, and implementation risks threatening value creation.
Root Cause: Talent gaps—not software issues. Most acquisitions inherit “talent debt” across their ERP teams.
Our Solution
- Pre-Acquisition Talent Audits: Identify capability gaps during due diligence
- 90-Day Talent Roadmaps: Strategic hiring plans post-close
- Critical Role Placement: Business Applications Managers, Solution Architects, Functional Consultants
- Portfolio-Wide Strategies: Standardized hiring across multiple companies
- RPO Solutions: 30-40% cost savings for team building
Ideal For: Operating partners managing portfolio companies implementing or upgrading to NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics 365.
🤝 Partner Firm Acquisitions
Leadership Transitions for Consulting Partner Acquisitions
The Challenge
You acquire a Microsoft Dynamics or NetSuite implementation partner. The founder-CEO resists change. The CFO lacks PE experience. Practice leaders are billable consultants with no management skills. Six months later: revenue decline, consultant attrition, client dissatisfaction.
Root Cause: Partner firms are built on founder relationships and technical delivery—not scalable leadership. Most acquisitions inherit “leadership debt.”
Our Solution
- C-Suite Transitions: CEO, CFO, COO replacements with PE-backed services experience
- Practice Leadership Development: Evaluate and upgrade NetSuite/Dynamics practice leads
- Sales Leadership Transformation: Build predictable new business engines
- Consultant Team Scaling: RPO for rapid practice expansion (30-65+ consultants)
- Leadership Capability Assessments: Pre-acquisition due diligence on talent bench strength
Ideal For: PE/VC firms acquiring professional services consulting practices and needing to scale or transition leadership.
