Alex Rawlings
Following 8+ years in executive search, Alex founded Raw Selection in 2017 out of frustration with ineffective candidate search practice and the desire to build an exceptional search firm.
“I became frustrated with the whole process. It had become a game of ‘who is already in my network’ rather than sourcing candidates from the whole market. I knew the process could be improved and that is what the team has built here at Raw Selection”.
Alex is passionate about constantly learning more about talent, leadership and the best working practices. If there is a book on hiring/talent/executive search Alex has likely read it.
Alex alongside managing and growing Raw Selection, Alex is still heavily involved in working with clients and fulfilling searches across private equity firm professional and portfolio executive appointments.
