Why We Started Cowen Partners Executive Search
Cowen Partners saw an opportunity not being met in the market. We saw that most executive search firms had a narrow focus on specific regions, or working with one or two industries. Others were filled with partners whose processes were out of date with today’s modern demands. Or worse, large firms were overstaffed with eager grads who had zero experience and no senior team support.

Cowen Partners Focuses On One Principle: Quality
Our team was developed to anticipate clients’ needs proactively, then develop a wide variety of networks where personal attention replaced automated online job ads. The reason why? Due diligence. It’s why we successfully place top executive talent in 38 days, on average.

Cowen Partners | Precision Over Quantity
We believe in sending the right candidates right away. That’s why our model focuses on precise placement of key talent. You don’t want a massive list of candidates, you want a list of the right candidates ready to lead. That’s where we come in and why clients come back to us, again and again, to place executive leadership.

Our Team Places Talent For Trajectory Level Growth
When you choose Cowen Partners, you get senior partner led searches, due diligence run networking, candidate vetting, critical review, and high level teamwork geared towards one goal: placing top talent, right away, for your role. This is how we became, and stay, a leading team of executive search consultants. Are you ready to make your next role the right one for massive growth?
