At Cowen Partners, we believe that recruiting the right leaders—ones that can change the trajectory of an entire organization—requires a meticulous mix of art and science.

Executives who make a difference do not actively look at job ads. The only way to reach these coveted individuals is to pursue them with the persistence of an elite athlete and the grace of a ballet dancer. One misstep is all it takes to turn away the person who may have proven a catalyst for your organization.

You’re Only as Good as Your Perception

First impressions are lasting impressions. To a potential candidate, the executive search consultant is going to be the first point of contact, the very face of your organization. That is why Cowen Partners assigns an experienced Partner to each search—bringing decades of recruiting experience and industry expertise with them.

Our Partners, flanked by a team of Associates, conduct executive searches for organizations like yours 365 days a year.
