EXECUTIVE SEARCH

Sure, you can find bigger firms. But will they treat you like their biggest client?

Working with Tom O’Connor helped me take my career to the next level … he did a great job of matching mine and the company’s needs to find the best fit for both. Ten years later and I’m still with the company, even advancing to the role of CEO after five years. Mission accomplished!

OOL doesn’t just recruit on my behalf – they understand my business and our culture, and in doing so they are my true partner and representative in the employment marketplace.

Over more than a decade, FCF has transitioned a half dozen C-suite and executive business leaders. O’Connor O’Connor Lordi served as a valued search partner as we navigated through change. The firm listens to the client needs, studies their culture, counsels on best practices and executes in a timely manner. More impressive is the retention record of these placed Leaders and the impact they have provided.

OUR PROCESS

DIVERSITY:

An Essential Part of a Successful Business Model

Having a diverse staff is not only the right thing to do, it is also good for business. As businesses become more global, they are benefiting from a broader pool of qualified candidates who bring valuable social perspectives with their skill sets. Moreover, a recent international McKinsey Report shows that “the relationship between diversity on executive teams and the likelihood of financial performance has strengthened over time.

Diversity and inclusion are nothing new to O’Connor O’Connor Lordi. They have been a long-time focus of our team, which has gained us a reputation of successfully assembling qualified and diverse candidate pools for our clients. In fact, since 2018, 67% of our placed candidates have been diverse. We’re proud of our achievements in placing female and minority candidates into key leadership and C-Suite roles. Diversity is a win for everybody. And we’re here to help you bring it to your organization.

Let’s Get to Work!

Nothing brings us greater satisfaction than a successful match between our client and an all-star candidate.
