About the team
About the team
The PE Research Team's mission is to identify, build a relationship with, and hire, every great Principal Engineer in the world. We use several tenets to guide us. Specifically, we believe that:
Applying research yields a healthy search outcome: With a well thought-out search plan, research accelerates ‘time to fill’ and prioritizes quality prospect touchpoints over quantity to create a prospect flywheel that earns customer, and candidate, trust.
We prioritize time to build a prospect and candidate pipeline as diverse as our customers.
We balance long-term candidate relationships with quick action on urgent, critical, business needs. Successful Research Recruiters don’t take short cuts, know candidate motivations deeply, and compile accurate market analysis with precise record keeping.
Individual wins are team wins. We are proud of making hires as a team. We are happy when our research delights our customers and results in a hire.
Turn over every stone: Fearless curiosity means asking tough questions to disambiguate search problems, highlight the tradeoffs that need to be made in a search, and zero in on the search objective. We prioritize proactive communication of good and bad news to key stakeholders.
PE Research is grateful for what came before and builds on existing data to deliver candidate and market insights, accelerate, and innovate, but isn't afraid to adapt, and try new directions when a search is stuck. We develop durable research that others want to use.
