      image

      You want leadership that drives the trajectory of your organization. Job ads won’t find that kind of talent. We will.

       

      As a top executive search firm nationwide, Cowen Partners has extraordinarily experienced executive recruiters who have developed and refined a distinct executive search process to:

       

      1. Find and recruit top leaders
      2. Place highly qualified talent in key roles in less than six weeks, using due diligence and human connection, instead of software automation

      Executive Search That Works: Our Relationships Become Your Top Talent

       

      Great leaders grow from relationships, not job postings. That is why we assign your search to one of our senior partners. This ensures your first point of contact with your future candidate builds trust through positive first impressions.

      At Cowen Partners, our executive recruiters know that quality trumps quantity. That’s why we curate candidate lists using a 12-step due diligence process that’s backed by our senior partners’ years of experience.

       

      We know finding people is easy. That’s why we don’t find people. What we do is connect, curate, and place top talent in leadership roles. Our team works to connect and place top talent in proactive, leadership-ready roles.

       

      We deliver 3X more qualified candidates, with the consistency of clockwork, no matter the industry, in less than 38 days.
