About Us

Since 2006, ON Partners is the only pure-play retained executive search firm building diverse C-level and board leadership teams across industries and functions. With offices across the country, we rebuilt the institution of executive search for the way you work.

Our approach to executive search is untraditional – by choice.

We got rid of playbooks, outdated practices, and unnecessary layers. Our approach includes present partners who are with you from the first brief to the final decision, individually crafted solutions that are unique to each client, and an easier experience all around.

Named by Forbes as one of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms and to the Inc. 500/5000 Lists nine times, the firm is consistently ranked among the top 20 retained executive search firms in the U.S.

Untraditional by Choice. Original by Design. Since 2006.
