Board of Directors Search Firm.

Discover how our executive search partners have helped build board leadership teams across a range of industries.

Why ON Partners is one of the top executive search firms for board of directors in the country.

Ultimately our mission is board effectiveness, through talent acquisition and support. A key part of that mission is building leadership and board teams with the capabilities and aspiration to extend top leadership to enterprise success.

But as critical as that is, it’s not enough.

For the organization’s best achievement, the Board of Directors needs to be functioning on all cylinders as a strategic asset for the enterprise.

And so for the past 15 years and hundreds of engagements, the partners at ON Partners have:

  • Recruited new key board members
  • Recruited top leadership and facilitated succession planning with the board
  • Partnered with the board on board effectiveness assessments in pursuit of excellence

We fundamentally believe there are three interlocking service components for boards functioning as a strategic asset.

At ON Partners, we offer the following board services:

  • Board Search Service
  • Board Effectiveness Service
  • CEO Succession and Search Service

We’re the top Board of Directors recruitment firms

Without an experienced board director in place, important company-wide initiatives can struggle. Each board director’s position is very demanding and unique, especially in today’s business environment. If you are looking for the right Chief Executive Officer placement or potential board member, expert recruiters for board positions at ON Partners have the executive unique recruitment experience, knowledge, and expertise to help your company find its next board member.

As a premier board member search firm ranked in the Forbes Top 50 list, we partner with clients to attract and deliver top talent. Our extensive network and candidate pool gives us access to today’s best-equipped leaders and board candidates to meet your challenges.

Our board executive search process involves strategic planning and us looking closely at an executive’s background, attitude, and cultural fit to make sure that they will confidently fit into your organization’s leadership team. Board of director recruitment can be very draining on time and resources (it takes much more than a LinkedIn search), so leave the hard work to our executive board recruiters.

Untraditional by Choice. Original by Design. Since 2006.

Executive board search for the way you work.

Our approach is untraditional – by choice. We got rid of what wasn’t working (unnecessary layers, outdated practices, cookie-cutter solutions) and envisioned a firm made up of partners without limits.

Our partners are less limited in what types of companies and candidates they can work with or how they grow their practices. Each of our partners brings specialized expertise across industries and functions at the board of director level and more.
