Ready To Uplevel

Your Investment Management Career?

My name is Tracie Janoska. I am the Founder of Volar Executive Search, and my expertise lies in helping Investment Management Leaders build top-class teams quickly and efficiently.

If you've worked with recruiters before, you already know some of the most common complaints levied against them:

They don't have a sense of urgency

They don’t truly understand the ins and outs of the Investment Management industry

They 'ghost' you instead of providing timely feedback

They are only in it for the money (they don't care about you and your career unless it means they can place you for an exorbitant fee)

Working with a recruiter who doesn't have your best interest at heart isn't an option if you want to achieve everything that you know you're capable of.

If you’re interested in working with a recruiter who knows this business inside and out, understands your needs, and actually puts candidates first before fees, book a call with us using the calendar below.

Let us prove to you that we're different than the rest.
