Why we’re a top private equity search firm.

We know private equity investors are keenly aware that leadership talent can be the difference between success and failure for a portfolio company. Without an experienced executive in place, important company-wide initiatives can struggle. Each executive position is very demanding and unique, especially in today’s business environment.

Our consultants understand this and routinely meet the high bar for talent, identifying Operating Partners, CEOs, CFOs, and other executives with the right technical skills and the private equity profile: the capability to work with limited resources, get their hands dirty, achieve performance metrics—and do it all fast. ON Partners was recently ranked one of the most prominent executive search firms in the private equity market. As a premier executive search firm ranked in the Forbes Top 50 list, we partner with clients to attract and deliver long-term top talent. Our extensive network and candidate pool gives us access to today’s best-equipped leaders to meet your challenges.

Our marketing search process involves strategic planning and looking closely at an executive’s background, attitude, and cultural fit to make sure that they will confidently fit into your organization’s leadership team. Executive private equity recruitment can be very draining on time and resources (it takes much more than a LinkedIn search), so leave the hard work to our PE executive recruiters.

Private Equity Executive Search for the way you work.

Our approach is untraditional – by choice. We got rid of what wasn’t working (unnecessary layers, outdated practices, cookie-cutter solutions) and envisioned a firm made up of partners without limits.

Our partners are less limited in what types of companies and candidates they can work with or how they grow their practices. Each of our partners brings specialized expertise across private equity industries and functions.
