The 2026 Talent Playbook: Private Equity is sitting on record "dry powder," but the biggest bottleneck isn't the money—it's the people.
In this episode of The Recruitment Show, we sit down with Michael Magliochetti, Operating Partner at Riverside Partners and author of Dancing Between the Toes of Elephants. We break down why the "Culture of One" is the #1 killer of founder-led businesses and how to build a team that is "exit-ready."
What you'll learn:

• The Human Diligence Shift: Why 2026 investors care more about your team than your EBITDA.
  
• The $500M Bottleneck: How to survive the transition from founder-led to professional-led.
  
• Multi-Lingual Leadership: Recruiting the "technical-to-commercial" bridge.
  
• Boardroom Secrets: Michael decodes the PE idioms every exec needs to know.
