ON Partners Named on Hunt Scanlon’s New Roundup of the 25 Most Prominent Executive Search Firms in Cleantech and ESG
Managing Partner Tim Conti also shared his insights in Hunt Scanlon’s Cleantech/ESG Special Recruiting Issue.
The burgeoning demand in the sustainability and cleantech sector have been driven by several factors says Tim Conti, “These include policy, change of presidential administrations, and, I believe, an increasing commitment among executives toward positive climate impact,” he said. “All of these elements create a great growth trajectory for the space; market conditions are there now to attract the highest caliber candidates. When you can mesh high caliber leaders with mission-driven companies, great things tend to result.”
The CEO and CFO-level roles have been ON Partners’ biggest focus for searches across the sector. “With the market potential, several companies have chosen to upgrade the CEO, attempting to boost strategic thinking in order to create a differentiated positioning for the company,” said Mr. Conti. “And, with financing often serving as the foundation for these companies, the CFO role is now (and has been) critical to a company’s ability to capitalize on market opportunities.”
Given the demand, talent pipelines are expected to struggle to keep up. But in these moments, companies should also look internally at talent already within its ranks, talent that is often times untapped, added Mr. Conti. “Providing growth opportunities to your highest potential employees can serve as an accelerator for their career development and oftentimes solves for your leadership gap without the disruption and risk of integrating an external leader. A hybrid internal/external talent strategy is called for in a growth market such as this,” he said.
The Cleantech/ESG Top 25 ranking is the latest of several accolades ON Partners has received in the last year. Once again, Forbes named ON Partners one of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms.
