ON Partners is named to Hunt Scanlon’s annual roundup of the 100 most prominent executive search firms 


Updated April 20, 2024 – ON Partners, a leading pure-play retained executive search firm, has once again secured a place on Hunt Scanlon’s 2024 Private Equity Recruiting Power 100 list. This marks the fifth consecutive year the firm has been recognized among the nation’s top executive search firms specializing in private equity leadership.

Placing Top Talent in Private Equity

Over the past year, ON Partners’ experienced consultants have placed C-level executives and board members across a range of private equity and growth-backed organizations, including Arcline, Carlyle, Francisco Partners, Vista Equity, Incline, and JMI. These placements reflect the firm’s commitment to delivering high-impact leadership solutions for private equity firms.

As the conversation around leadership and talent management takes center stage in the evolving PE landscape, the question arises: “How does PE address the need for a human capital strategy?”. Applied anthropologist and C-suite talent & leadership advisor Cher Murphy recently partnered with ON Partners and co-president Matt Mooney to shed light on three imperatives to address the changing landscape of private equity’s human capital strategy.

“The last few years have been a period of expansion for ON Partners in the PE market,” said Matt Mooney, co-president of ON Partners. “The executive shifts we’re making illustrate our commitment to building the most innovative and disruptive pure-play retained executive search firm for our PE clients.”

Additionally, partners Seth Harris and Travis Rivers provided more insight in their recent recap of the Annual Private Equity Boston Forum held by Markets Group, supporting the continued development of the private equity investment industry along the Northeast, bringing together industry leaders, experts, and investors to discuss the current landscape, challenges, and opportunities in the private equity (PE) market.

In case you missed it, ON Partners, in collaboration with Hunt Scanlon sponsored a live interactive webinar, discussing the rise of the operating partner in private equity with Anna Tye from Carlyle, Ed Richards from Marlin Equity Partners, Steven Berman from Accel-KKR, and Ryan Greene from Francisco Partners. The session was moderated by Tindall Hein and Jeff Hocking from ON Partners.

The webinar examined how PE firms view the importance of the Operating Partner role, how it has shifted over the years, and the impact the role has on portfolio companies’ success.


ON Partners Recognized as an Industry Leader

As the firm expanded over the last few years it also was recognized with prominent industry accolades and awards. In May 2023, ON Partners announced the company is No. 22 on Forbes’ “America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms” List.  The list is a prestigious ranking based on survey responses from more than 5,200 external recruiters, HR or hiring managers, and executive job seekers with recent experience working with a recruiting firm.

<blockquote>

“ON Partners’ recognition with Forbes list proves that not only are we delivering in our commitment towards innovation and impact, but that our work is being acknowledged within the industry amongst our influential executive peers,” said Tim Conti, Co-President of ON Partners.  “ON Partners continues to rise in this ranking each year and prioritize our efforts towards the overall executive search experience, which is why we’ve consistently received a 4.9 out of 5.0-star experience rating from clients and executive placements over the last two years.”

The firm was also ranked 12th on the C-Suite CV Secure 2023 ranking of America’s Top 49 Retained Executive Search firms. This is the third consecutive year ON Partners has been ranked on the list.

In addition, ON Partners was named once again to Hunt Scanlon’s CleanTech/Sustainability Top 25, HR/Diversity Recruiting Power 65, and Life Sciences & Healthcare Power 50 lists.
