What our partners say about Tenfold
“Yinka has an extensive network and an exceptional understanding of private investing sectors, yet he continuously demonstrates a desire to improve. Yinka will listen closely to his client's feedback, expand his network through a targeted approach, then present new opportunities through an iterative process. Yinka's professionalism, existing network, and knowledge of the space make him an industry leader, but his willingness to spend time learning about his individual client's needs with a humble approach is what sets him apart.”
Head of Corporate Development

“Ladi and the team have been incredibly accommodating, helpful, insightful, encouraging, and a true resource throughout my whole interview process. Tenfold caters to their potential placements with true care while most recruiting firms are just playing the numbers and don't actually care about the candidates they are putting in front of their private equity clients. I have no doubt that Tenfold will continue to grow and succeed in the buyside recruiting landscape for years to come. I look forward to hopefully working with the Tenfold team again, whether that be as a team member assisting my new firm in a recruiting process, or for future opportunities within the industry should my path lead me to that.”

“I would recommend Yinka to everyone in my network. He has been a very instrumental partner in my career and has become a good friend of mine as a result. With his robust network of buy-side and strategic clients, he has become such a sought after recruiter, he is usually exclusively retained by his clients. Unlike other recruiters, Yinka will truly become your trusted advisor. He provides market intelligence and can be relied on for wise and objective career advice. Not only is he the most intentional and deliberate recruiter you'll work with, but he will always fight for you and your best interests.”

“Tenfold was an ideal partner in our search process. Rather than taking a far and wide approach to the search, they ran a targeted process to find candidates that were a strong fit for our sector-focused firm (technology and digital infrastructure) in a less traditional market (D.C.) and turned up several qualified and interested candidates. We wouldn't hesitate to use Tenfold again in a future search process.”
