Chicago, IL

Global – 51 Locations Globally

OVERVIEW

As one of the first executive search firms in the U.S., Heidrick & Struggles has provided expert executive search services since 1953. Their methods are based on a thorough understanding of each client’s strategic, financial, and operational issues.

PRACTICE AREAS

Heidrick moved up one spot on the list to #4 this year. A storied brand in the executive search business, Heidrick went through a period of reorganization and consolidation in recent times shrinking from well over 100 locations down to 51. However the appointment of Tracy Wolstencroft (former Goldman Sachs executive) as president and CEO in 2014 has buoyed the firm, which seems to have found its way back from the abyss and has returned to solid footing once again.

N2Growth

n2growth executive search firm

Philadelphia, PA

Global: more than 50 Offices Worldwide

OVERVIEW

Recognized as the elite of the executive search boutiques, and the only boutique search firm that consistently ranks in our top 10 ahead of many larger executive search firms. Specializing in C-level and Board Member search assignments, the firm’s commitment to thought leadership, heavy technology investments into proprietary intellectual property, and a complete innovation of traditional search practices have made N2Growth the fastest growing executive search firm on the planet for the last five years. Where most executive search firms claim to be big, N2Growth claims to be better, focusing on process and diversity, equity, and inclusion, see their “who’s who” list of clients proving this claim.

CURRENT RANKING

N2Growth remained #2 on our list. The firm had impressive growth since the last ranking growing from 25 locations to now having nearly 50 locations globally, and has been consistently named by Forbes at the top of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms every year. N2Growth’s industry-leading portfolio of intellectual property gives it a technology edge, but it’s the dominance over the balance of the industry in thought leadership and business model innovation that makes it a client favorite.
