I'm looking to speak to finance professionals (PE, VC, hedge funds, IB, Asset Managers, CRE) who use background/intelligence due diligence reports in the context of financial transactions (i.e. through Kroll, Exiger, Control Risks, etc) to understand buying behavior and competitive positioning.

If you're available to discuss (think an expert call like GLG or Alphasights), my firm is willing to compensate with a $500 Amazon gift card for 30 mins or $1000 for 60 mins.

Pls DM me if interested

Our interviews are all double blind so nothing you share will be directly attributed back to you or your company

Many firms’ compliance team will nix this in a New York minute. No one in their right mind will risk their job over this.

Hope you get your sample size though!

-Signed the exact buyer that you’d want for this topic

Curious question- do you know why GLG was blacklisted at McK?

Not asking for any confidential or proprietary info - have had a pretty good hit rate here on fishbowl and others who declined the compensation but were willing to chat anyway. Let me know if you change your mind!

I'm an experienced Generalist/HRBP for an extremely high volume/large org. I have a masters in HROD and SHRM-CP. My role is getting to be more and more transactional by the day, all my strategic projects get pushed to the side by the endless daily fires that are, inevitably, tracking down employees and data entry. I'm actively looking for a new role (preferably Sr generalist etc), but can't seem to stand out among the crowd. Any tips? Louisville, KY.

A few years ago, I proposed a grant to my Board of Ed, but was turned down... so I put it on DonorsChoose instead, and it got fully funded (about $2800), but my school district said I could not accept the grant under any circumstances! So I had to ditch the idea (and the FUNDING!)...
Anyone else experience this? I still wonder why.... and it was never explained to me. (Veteran teacher, 20+ years’ experience.)
