We are starting to see a new kind of brief land on our desks. Not "we need a data scientist" or "we need a strategy consultant", but one person who can do both, and who works with AI every day as a matter of course.

This month we took on our first search assignment where AI fluency isn't a line tucked away at the bottom of the spec. It sits right at the centre of it.

The role is a Principal Consultant in AI, Data and Strategic Delivery for a young South African advisory firm. On paper it looks like a familiar senior consulting hire. Read the brief closely, though, and it describes a different kind of professional altogether.

What happens when a senior leader leaves and no one is prepared to take over? Too often, boards hurry to fill the role, looking for someone who can handle the immediate problem but may not be right for the future.

This usually means getting a leader who works for the moment, not for what comes next.

But what if succession planning could be proactive instead? I recently saw a great example of this, a CEO transition that was smooth, strategic, and, honestly, refreshingly uneventful.

The process started early, included a full review of all possible candidates, and allowed for a proper, meaningful handover.

The result was continuity, not chaos.

Are you finding it hard to hear back from top junior private equity talent in South Africa?
It’s getting harder to find strong analysts and associates. The problem isn’t a lack of talent. Instead, the best people are staying put. When there’s plenty of local deal flow, top performers see good opportunities where they are and don’t want to leave.
This makes it tough for firms to build strong investment teams. With a small local talent pool and the lure of higher international salaries, usual recruiting methods often don’t work.

To hire well, you need to be clear, patient, and ready for a longer process. It helps to be upfront about high technical standards and to focus on professionals who want unique and challenging work.

Hiring junior private equity talent in South Africa is difficult because of a limited talent pool, strong economic activity that encourages retention, and competition from global markets with higher salaries.

Addressing these challenges requires a strategic approach focused on building networks, taking a long-term view, and understanding candidate motivations.
