According to industry research, hiring organizations experience the most difficulty in hiring technology leaders. These positions require a different approach. While some  firms may excel in placing CEOs, CFOs, and COOs, we specialize in and understand the uniqueness of these roles. As a result, CIO Partners has established strong national brand recognition among senior technology leaders.

Since our founding in 2001 by a former CIO and business-minded IT consultant, our cornerstone belief has been that building deeper relationships with clients and truly understanding their technology, vision, and culture results in a more effective recruiting process.  This unique, value-based approach became the foundation of the company’s industry-leading CIO RightHire^SM process, used to match the top 5% of technology professionals with the right organizations.

For over 20 years, CIO Partners has been more than just a search firm; we've been a nexus of influence and opportunity in the technology leadership landscape. Our focus isn't merely transactional; it's deeply relational. We've diligently built and nurtured one of the most extensive networks in the industry, segmented not just by role—CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs—but also by domain expertise and regional influence.

It is because of these cultivated talent networks that we are typically able to present our candidate slates within 3 weeks of engagement and complete a search in 8-12 weeks (not months), with an average of 6-8 candidates submitted.
