Our Business Philosophy

Since 1985, the growth and expansion of our firm has resulted from the increasing demand for excellent service on the part of our corporate clients. Over 70% of our assignments come from our existing clients, with the balance resulting from referrals from the same group. The high standards to which we adhere are the result of four factors:

Our professional staff is composed of individuals from diverse business backgrounds who have had highly successful experiences in their previous associations.

Since its inception, O'Keefe & Partners has stressed teamwork and mutual accountability. We place a special emphasis on cooperation among our staffs. Each assignment is reviewed, discussed and analyzed by every member of the firm, enabling the client to receive the benefit of the collective experiences of our associates. Note: Associates total over 135 years of experience at O'Keefe & Partners...our staff has maintained continuity unmatched in the Search Business. We have achieved a 90% retention rate for our executive staff .

High standards of integrity are fundamental to our work with emphasis on thoroughness, confidentiality, and judgement as to the long-term "fit" between employer and prospective candidate.

Our goal is to develop a more creative and productive approach to our client's executive recruiting issues, employing our experience in a broad range of industries and functional areas. Concurrently, emphasis is given to speed with our objective being to complete an assignment in a reasonable time frame, without foregoing a thorough review of the candidate universe.
