ON Partners, the pure-play retained executive search firm, is proud to be named to the HR and Diversity Power 65 Recruiting list, announced by market research firm Hunt Scanlon.  The list encompasses the leading executive search firms specializing in human resources and diversity, equity & inclusion. This is the third year in a row that ON has been placed on this prominent ranking.

Virtually half of our executive placements in September 2022 – 49% – were diverse talent, and so far this year, 40% of all search assignments ON has undertaken have resulted in diverse executive placements. We have placed more than 200 diverse executives in leadership positions in the last few years.

As executive search consultants who partner with organizations to place C-level and board executives across a range of industries, we understand our responsibility in helping to shape what the future of business looks like.

As a group of non-conformists, we recognize that you can’t craft effective solutions using outdated methods and practices. So, we don’t have a “diversity practice” and we don’t partner with a diversity firm. We consider every search we undertake to be a diverse search, and every slate of candidates we present to our hiring clients is a diverse one.

Here, in our first half of 2022 talent report, we look at the diversity progress the ON community has made; how we’re increasing diverse hires in a sector that has been historically homogenous, technology; building more diverse boards; and we highlight diverse leaders we’ve recently placed.

Ongoing Diversity Survey

 

For the past few years, we’ve been listening to our ON community to better understand where they are in their diversity journey and ultimately to help them build more diverse organizations. Our ongoing Diversity Survey has been shining a light on what actions they are taking, where the challenges are, and what organizations they admire for their diversity and inclusion initiatives.

To continue to build on these learnings, we want to hear from you.
