We Partner With

Rooted in Big Four and Investment Banking Talent

Refined Across Industries. Powered by Process.

Hazeltine began in 2015 with a focus on placing elite Accounting & Finance talent within Private Equity-backed Upstream Oil & Gas companies. Our consistent delivery led to rapid, organic expansion:

  • First into Midstream Oil & Gas
  • Then into Energy Transition and CleanTech sectors
  • Followed by internal Private Equity roles (deal and firm-level finance)
  • Then across other PE-backed companies outside of energy

And ultimately into Family Offices, where Managing Partners asked us to replicate success in their portfolio and HoldCo businesses. Every phase of expansion has been driven by referrals. Our process consistently impresses stakeholders across industries—so much so that clients ask us to replicate our success beyond the original mandate. What began in one vertical now spans many. Why? Because our process works—and it’s unlike anything else in executive and professional search. It consistently opens doors in industries we never planned to enter.

  • Private Equity Firms
  • Founder-led And Family-owned Businesses
  • Public Companies
  • Fast-growing, Private Equity Portfolio Companies Across Multiple Sectors

Key Sectors We Serve

  • Upstream & Midstream Oil and Gas, Energy Services
  • Energy Transition / CleanTech
  • Private Equity (firm-level & portfolio companies)
  • Industrial & Logistics
  • Financial Services & Investment Firms
  • Consumer Goods & Food Logistics
  • Family Offices (HoldCos and operating companies)

Why Clients Expand Our Scope

Many of our most successful partnerships started with a single finance search—and quickly grew. Here’s why: Clients regularly ask us to take on roles outside the original scope, not because we claim to specialize in everything, but because they’ve seen what our process delivers:

  • A rich pipeline of engaged passive candidates
  • Hiring manager videos that spark candidate interest
  • Structured video interviews that eliminate guesswork
  • Deep candidate insight that traditional recruiters can’t match

As long as we can build a credible sourcing list, our process does the rest. We’ve succeeded where even niche firms struggled—because our system works. Still, we only accept searches we’re confident we can execute with excellence.
