N2Growth is best known for our track record of handling highly confidential and complex Board and C-Suite retained executive search assignments.

Our Approach

N2Growth understands that you’re not simply looking to fill a vacancy with an executive search firm, but rather, you’re looking for a leader who can help take your company to its desired future state. You’re ultimately looking to solve a business problem with an extraordinary hire. We come alongside you to figure out what that looks like, and then we go find that perfect-fit leader, wherever in the world they might be. And we do that with a level of speed and precision that no other retained search firm can match.

We have created a completely unique retained search experience for our clients, built for how search should work, not just how it’s always been done. We pair best in class research capabilities with an internal commitment to cutting-edge technology and product development. This produces deep, rich talent pipelines across all industries and geographies for our clients.  Our transparent search application, known as Engage, gives clients 24/7 access to their entire pipeline with real-time reporting, data and analytics. N2Growth also uses a bespoke pricing model that offers a variety of engagement options to accommodate virtually any company. We meet you where you are instead of forcing you into an outdated, industry standard pricing model. Overall, our unique process is co-created with each client to deliver what they need, when they need it. 

Nothing at N2Growth is “industry standard,” and that includes our performance. In every meaningful category of measurement, we rank at or near the top of our profession. N2Growth’s executive search practice has been continuously named one of the top search firms in the world for a reason. We invite you to join Fortune 500 companies, leading private equity firms, fast-growing startups, and successful middle-market companies in selecting N2Growth as your preferred leadership and talent partner.

Diversity Commitment

More diverse teams are better teams. We have a proven track record of helping organizations get there with some of the highest diverse placement rates in the industry.

N2Growth is on a mission to help companies become more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. First, because it’s the right thing to do. Second, because it will make your team perform at a higher level. Diversity of thought and perspective in the C-Suite leads to better decision making and better outcomes. 

N2Growth has the major global reach, infrastructure, and network of a top-ranked search firm. And we are harnessing those resources to advance the mission of increased equity at the executive level. Recently, N2Growth joined forces with All Black Creatives to co-launch All Black Agency, the premier search offering in the market for black talent. If your company is looking to diversify its leadership team, All Black Agency can provide you with unparalleled access to the executives you need, but can’t seem to find.

Whatever your unique company culture needs to diversify, to become that equitable microcosm of society that you aspire to be, we can help.

Many organizations have established robust DE&I education and training programs. While incredibly important, training alone is not enough. It’s a starting point. Leaders need to identify, attract, and retain diverse leaders that will be a culture add and help accelerate your organization toward a better future. A more aware culture is one thing, but when diverse employees can look up the organization and see people who look like them, that’s real change.

N2Growth is ready to partner with you to co-create a more equitable future together.

Industry Groups

We understand the intricacies of leadership and have a robust network with unfettered access to tier one talent.

Board Search

The boardroom has never been under more scrutiny. At a time when expectations for board engagement, ethics, governance and overall performance have never been higher, many boards lack diversity and leadership.

Boards are under pressure from the capital markets, media, regulators, shareholders, CEOs and other constituencies to provide strategic value and to ensure the sustainability of the enterprise through executive transitions and complex market conditions. Whether it’s advising individual Board members, lead directors, committee chairs, or working with the entire Board, N2Growth offers the following Board Advisory services:

• Director/Board Assessment and Evaluation
• Director Selection and Board Composition
• Director Succession and Assimilation
• Board Advisory, Consulting and Development
• CEO & CXO Succession and Assimilation
• Board & C-level Recruiting
• CEO and Board Coaching
• Governance, Risk Management & Compliance Consulting
• Compensation Committee Assistance
• Equity Strategy Management
• Crisis Management

Few things can influence executive leadership like an engaged, productive, and insightful Board of Directors. N2Growth has deep expertise in amplifying Boards by helping them identify their needs, align their resources, lead in the present, and plan for the future. If you’re ready to maximize the impact, effectiveness, and efficiency of your Board, then we should talk.

"Working with N2Growth has been a true pleasure. They’ve exceeded our expectations in every way. The entire team took the time to understand our company's culture, placing us with incredible talent at an extraordinary pace."

—Payam Shohadai, Luma Pictures

Executive Transitions

N2Growth offers both enterprise level and individual assistance to executives entering a career transition.

Our corporate programs are specifically designed to NOT resemble traditional outplacement services. We offer a highly engaged client experience that not only enhances and protects the employer brand, but offers a next generation, value added service for employees easing the burden of transition, while creating a strong corporate alumni population. Your ex-employees say as much about your brand as your current employees – we make sure those teammates being transitioned still feel like they’re a part of the team.

The individual program is tailored to senior executives contemplating the thought of career transition as well as those already in the midst of a transition. Think of it like this – few things are as important as making the right moves when it comes to career management. Our services are to executives like sports agents are to athletes. Our cadre of coaches and advisors are experienced in working with Board and C-Level executives in navigating the complexities of making the right moves, at the right times, for the right reasons.

"Compromise has its place in business - but it has no place in the talent acquisition process."

— Mike Myatt, Chairman

What Clients Are Saying

    N2Growth took the time to truly understand what we were looking for. They went beyond the usual script and really understood the culture of the organization and the strategic drivers. They also challenged us and presented alternative candidates to stretch our thinking. Sometimes it just clarified what we didn’t want but that was a useful insight in itself.

    Cathie Warburton. GRDC.

    N2Growth performed above our expectations. They are proactive, thorough, provide information and updates along the way, and answer all questions. Their professionalism is above and beyond any search firm I have worked with. They provide the knowledge, tools, and experience to attract the best candidates so their clients can make their best hiring decisions.

    Colette Hohimer, Executive Director. The Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons.

    They approached the entire process in a professional manner and put the efforts of the full team behind the search. The entire team was very proactive. The presentation material for candidates was well done. The portal was helpful in the preliminary screening of the candidates. We liked the fact that the team presented candidates bios in meetings that gave us a broader perspective about the candidates than we would have got just from their formal written resume. They were able to find a number of qualified candidates in a short period of time. Overall, we had an excellent experience with N2Growth.

    Chandra Bhansali, CEO. AccountantsWorld.

    Very professional, well organized, responsive, and a well-prepared team that is easy and enjoyable to work with.

    Ilona Bassin, Senior Group Manager, Talent Management. Hyundai Motor America.

    We have worked with N2Growth to place three C-level executives across two organizations. The teams we worked with exceeded our expectations in every way. N2Growth is a true authority in executive search and leadership assessment and we are very pleased with the high-quality talent they helped us place within our organizations.

    Carr Bettis, Executive Chairman. AudioEye.

    I enjoyed working through the successful recruitment process with the N2Growth team. All provided clear, concise and efficient communication throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend N2Growth’s services to my business colleagues and friends.

    Jay W. Erskin, President. Daybrook Fisheries, Inc..

    N2Growth has supported us through the years with complex and often (politically) sensitive executive hires. They have never failed once, on the contrary, most of the candidates placed are still serving our firm.

    HR Director: Global financial services (Confidential). .

    We have engaged with N2Growth on many occasions. We value professional business partners who know how to distinguish trivialities from those issues which really matter to the business. N2 always offers a diverse candidate portfolio, also from surprising and unconventional professional backgrounds and industries.

    HR Director:. Healthcare (Confidential).

    I found N2 to be extremely thorough in their entire process.  Communication was exceptional and candidate review was well organized.   They listened to the feedback we provided on each candidate to make sure they delivered exactly what we were looking for and we're happy to say one year into our hire that's exactly what we got.

    Tricia Bielinski. Global HR Director K2 Partnering.

    Working with N2Growth has been a true pleasure. They’ve exceeded our expectations in every way. The entire team took the time to understand our company's culture, placing us with incredible talent at an extraordinary pace.

    Payam Shohadai. CEO Luma Pictures.
