How We Support You
Beyond Filling Positions
We don’t just fill positions—we build what success looks like, map out 30-60-90 day plans, and ensure the leaders we place are set up for impact. With OneAccord, we take it even further. We look at the entire business: succession planning, growth strategy, even preparing companies for an eventual sale. When you combine that with our ability to bring in top leadership talent, it’s a complete talent and growth solution. Instead of a one-off hire, you get a long-term plan: the right leaders in the right seats backed by a strategy that makes sure your company thrives today and tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is talent advisory and how is it different from a recruiting firm?
Talent advisory goes beyond filling a position. Where a traditional recruiting firm focuses on sourcing and placing candidates, OneAccord’s Talent Advisory service aligns every hire with your company’s mission, culture, and strategic direction. OneAccord only takes retained searches — meaning the team is fully invested in the outcome — and builds 30-60-90 day onboarding plans, success profiles, and long-term workforce strategies alongside every placement. The result is not just a hire, but a leader who is set up to make an impact.
How long does an executive search take with OneAccord?
OneAccord’s typical search-to-offer timeline is 60 to 70 days with an engaged client. The process begins with a deep discovery of your goals, culture, and role requirements, followed by targeted candidate sourcing, culture-driven evaluation, and structured interviews. Pricing is paid in thirds — at kickoff, at the interview stage, and at hire — so the investment is spread across the engagement.
What is OneAccord’s track record for executive hires?
75% of OneAccord’s executive hires are still thriving in their roles — or have been promoted — three years after placement. This retention rate reflects the firm’s focus on cultural fit, values alignment, and strategic match rather than simply filling a vacancy. OneAccord uses Success Profiles and AI-powered clarity assessments to build consistency and transparency into every search.
Can OneAccord help with succession planning for a family business or owner-led company?
Yes. Succession planning is a core component of OneAccord’s Talent Advisory service. The firm works with business owners to identify and develop internal successors, recruit external leadership talent where gaps exist, and build a workforce strategy aligned with the owner’s personal timeline and exit or transition goals. OneAccord’s ability to combine talent advisory with strategic planning and exit readiness makes it a complete solution for owners navigating generational transfer or leadership change.
When should a growing company engage a talent advisory service?
A company should engage talent advisory when it is hiring for a critical leadership role and cannot afford a misfire, when the current recruiting firm lacks the depth or bandwidth to find the right cultural fit, when the business is navigating rapid growth, leadership transition, or succession and needs the right people to carry it forward, or when the owner wants to reduce personal dependency and build a leadership team capable of running the business independently.
How does OneAccord evaluate cultural fit during an executive search?
OneAccord begins every search by taking the time to understand the client’s team, values, and leadership culture — not just the role requirements. Candidate evaluation includes Success Profiles that define what great looks like in the specific context of your company, AI-powered clarity assessments to surface alignment and potential blind spots, and structured interviews designed to reveal how candidates lead, communicate, and respond to the specific challenges your business faces.
