For the 7th Time, ON Partners Appears on the Inc. 5000, Ranking No. 3212 With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 116 Percent

August 12, 2020 – Inc. magazine today revealed that ON Partners, the experience-driven retained executive search firm, is No. 3212 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This is the seventh time ON Partners has been ranked on the Inc. 5000 list. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.”

ON Partners received several accolades in 2020 due to its 116% three-year growth, including a top 20 ranking in market research firm Hunt Scanlon’s annual roundup of the top 50 recruiters in the Americas, and inclusion in Forbes list of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms. Additionally, ON Partners ranked in the top 10 executive search firms by both Atlanta Business Chronicle and Minneapolis / St.Paul Business Journal. The firm is proud to be named to Hunt Scanlon’s Private Equity Recruiting Power 75 list, along with being named to the first annual list of the Top 50 Healthcare & Life Sciences Search Firms.

In the first half of 2020, ON’s team of experienced consultants placed C-level executives and board members at a range of organizations, including Pizza Hut Digital Ventures, NVIDIA, Bazaarvoice, AECOM, Marlin Equity Partners and Information Builders. Serving the healthcare and life sciences sector since the firm’s inception, ON consultants build executive leadership teams for organizations such as IGM Biosciences, Illumina, Sangamo Therapeutics, SOC Telemed and Thermo Fisher Scientific.

The firm’s collective expertise spans industries and functions, including C-level and board leadership search assignments in tech, consumer, industrial and life sciences in the private and public sectors – with over 150 C-level and board leadership placements in 2019 alone. When surveyed about working with ON, clients ranked the firm an average of 4.7 out of 5 for “overall experience.”

“Eighty-five percent of our searches over the past year were with clients who have worked with us more than once, which speaks volumes to the importance of the experience in the search process,” noted ON Partners co-founder and managing partner Tim Conti. “Right now, we’re striving to help clients and candidates make the most of these uncertain times we’re all living and working through.”

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ON developed a series of experience-driven tools designed to help clients and candidates, including an executive assessment and onboarding guide; tips on how to interview virtually; and a collective forecast from ON consultants about what to expect post-pandemic across several industries, including supply chain, ecommerce, private equity, telecom and telemedicine, software and life sciences.

Methodology

The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2019.
