What kind of roles and industries does ON Partners focus on?

ON Partners specializes in retained executive search, focusing on senior-level leadership positions. Our core sectors include Consulting, Business Services, Legal, and Software. We primarily recruit for C-suite, VP, and Director-level roles, as well as key individual contributor positions that require deep specialized expertise within these industries.

How does ON Partners find and engage candidates?

As a retained search firm, we proactively identify potential candidates who match specific client requirements for open executive roles. Our process begins with understanding the client's needs, followed by extensive market research to source individuals. We then reach out directly to discuss the opportunity, assess fit, and present qualified candidates to our clients.

How can I get ON Partners to consider me for opportunities?

The best way to be considered is to have a profile that aligns with our current or future executive searches in Consulting, Business Services, Legal, or Software. Ensure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date and highlights relevant leadership experience and keywords. Referrals from trusted network contacts who know our work are also highly valuable.

What should I expect if ON Partners contacts me about a role?

If we contact you, it's because your profile aligns with a specific executive search we are conducting. We will schedule a call to discuss the role, your background, and career aspirations. Communication will be focused on that specific opportunity, and we will provide updates on the search progress as appropriate.

Is ON Partners the right agency for my job search?

ON Partners is ideal if you are a senior executive or a highly specialized professional seeking leadership roles within our core sectors: Consulting, Business Services, Legal, and Software. If you are seeking entry-level or mid-career positions, or roles outside these specific industries, our retained search model may not be the best fit for your immediate needs.

  • Highlight leadership achievements and quantifiable results.

Frequently asked questions

Who pays ON Partners's fee?

As a retained executive search firm, ON Partners is engaged and paid directly by the client company. Candidates are never charged a fee for our services. Our compensation is solely from the organizations seeking to fill their executive positions.

Can I work with other recruiters while working with ON Partners?

Yes, you are welcome to work with other recruiters and apply to jobs directly. Our focus is on specific retained searches, and we do not operate as a general placement agency. We appreciate transparency if you are actively engaged with another firm on a similar role.

What happens to my information after a search concludes?

Your information is kept confidential and used solely for the specific search we are conducting. We maintain candidate records for potential future opportunities that align with your profile and our areas of specialization. You can request to have your data removed at any time.

How is ON Partners different from a contingency recruiter?

ON Partners conducts retained executive search, meaning we are hired and paid by the company before the search begins, and we focus on senior-level roles. Contingency recruiters are typically paid only upon successful placement and may work on a broader range of positions and levels.
