Our Approach

Our approach is designed to give our community of leaders what they want most in an executive search firm:

  • Present partners
  • Crafted solutions
  • Easier experience
80% of our clients work with us on more than one project

Present Partners

Our partners are with you from the first brief to the final decision.

We don’t have quotas to meet and work with less “off-limits”. That means each partner is free to build their own portfolio, team up to solve your needs, and is fully committed to your search.

97% of our executive placements are still in their positions two years later

Crafted Solutions

ON Partners delivers unique and sometimes unexpected candidate solutions that are tailored to your company’s specific requirements and culture. We specialize in storytelling that accurately positions your company and attracts (and ultimately retains), the right candidates.

Easier Experience

Business is tough. Your executive search shouldn’t be.

We are a pure-play executive search firm that got rid of outdated practices, playbooks, and unnecessary layers. The result is simple: an easier executive search. Faster too.
