- CTPartners Executive Search Inc. operates as a provider of retained executive search services globally, specializing in senior-level and C-suite executive recruitment including CEO, CFO, CLO, CMO, CHRO, and board member placements. The company supports clients across various industries including financial services, professional services, life sciences, technology/media/telecom, consumer/retail, and industrial sectors. In addition to executive search, CTPartners offers leadership assessment, board advisory, succession planning, and uses proprietary tools like SearchSigma and ClientNet to enhance the search and client communication processes. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in New York, New York, CTPartners serves a diverse client base including multinational corporations, mid-market enterprises, private equity, and venture capital firms across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Recent major changes include CTPartners' strategic alliance with DHR Global, effectively merging to create one of the world's largest executive search firms with over 200 consultants and 60 wholly owned offices worldwide. This alliance followed a period of financial difficulty and restructuring efforts, including shifts in leadership with the stepping down of former CEO Brian Sullivan in 2023. The partnership with DHR has expanded CTPartners' global footprint and service capabilities, blending its longstanding expertise with DHR’s resources to better address client needs in executive search and board advisory. The firm continues to invest in technology-driven recruitment processes and broadening its service offerings to include more comprehensive talent management and advisory roles in the evolving executive recruitment landscape.
CTPartners maintains a global presence, operating in major financial and commercial markets, and continues to focus on delivering tailored leadership solutions to corporate and nonprofit clients. The combination with DHR has positioned CTPartners to leverage a broad international consultant network while maintaining a commitment to localized market knowledge and personalized client service. This positions the firm as a competitive player in the global executive search industry with a strong emphasis on data-driven and culturally aligned hiring practices.
