Executive Search

  • 6-8 Candidates
  • 8-12 Weeks

Our typical slate of 6-8 candidates is presented within 3 weeks of engagement, and our average search is completed in 8-12 weeks.

Hiring organizations with strong internal talent acquisition functions still choose to partner with us due to our specialized expertise and ability to fully discover the market for candidates not found through job postings. With an established candidate referral network, an innovative search process, and specific domain expertise, CIO Partners is recognized as the leader for technology executive search at the C-suite, VP, and director levels.

Utilizing a modified retained engagement model unlike traditional retained search firms - and with a 100% focus in the technology sector - our approach ensures that our client partners have a dedicated staff of search project resources focused on recruiting passive candidates.

Due to our deeply cultivated candidate networks and our honed ability to vet within our specialized niche, our typical slate of 6-8 candidates is presented within 3 weeks of engagement, and our average search is completed in 8-12 weeks - not months.

Interim Technology Leadership

Whether an Interim CIO/CTO is needed to bridge a gap during leadership transition, to assess current organizational strategy, or to supplement existing technology leadership to implement key initiatives, the CIO Partners team can provide access to this key talent in a short time to market.

Senior-Level Leaders

Our proprietary network includes senior-level business leaders who have created technology strategies for companies of all sizes and have led the implementation of strategic and operational technology initiatives in a diverse set of corporate entities.

Strategy & Planning

Our team works closely with our client partners to design and develop best practices and customized solutions for recruiting top talent across the enterprise. For example, despite being comfortable with their own sourcing efforts, hiring organizations often need a reliable partner to assist them in discerning executive technology talent according to their specific needs. Or an organization may require further evaluation based on insight from an independent party that they are making the right hire prior to offer. Our clients praise our unparalleled ability to assist them in doing just that.
