Ridgeway Partners Ranked a 2023 Top US Search Firm

By Press Releases, Ridgeway News

Our third annual public survey to determine the top US retained executive search firms ran from 1 st August until 31 st October 2023 and saw participation from over 18,000 senior executives that form both client and candidate groups. This year, we saw eight new entrants to the Top 49 Ranking List and comprises of five women owned firms.

In a guarded industry such as executive search, where public feedback is hard to come by, often potential clients have very little data to help them make the right decisions. Our survey data is used by over 180 clients to decide on which search firm to work with.

imageOur online public survey is designed to gather maximum feedback from respondents in under 60 seconds. The key information we gather from respondents are:

  • Professional career level of the participant
  • Participant profile – whether candidate or client
  • Industry of the participant
  • Search firm, each participant wishes to rate
  • Participant’s experience with the search firm and how likely are they to recommend a search firm to others (NPS)

Our survey focuses on retained executive search firms that use research driven methodology to identify and select the best available candidates. The ranking covers executive search firms that are headquartered and have the most number of Consultants in the US.

Our ranking is not solely based on revenue or size of the business. “Revenue-only” approach to ranking puts smaller firms and those not willing to disclose revenue at a disadvantage even though they are deeply valued and trusted by candidates and clients alike.

All our software products for search firms are free to use. This helps us manage the ranking process in an unbiased manner. If you are a search firm, you can gain access to our confidential job description sharing and tracking platform for free. Contact us at info@c-suitecvsecure.com

This ranking is the result of an evaluation process within the parameters set by C-Suite CV Secure, Inc., its affiliates, and partners if any. C-Suite CV Secure would not comment on the quality of executive search firms that are not included in the ranking, and their reputation is not disputed.

Charles preusse profiled by tuck school of business

By Ridgeway News

Charles F. Preusse II T’95 was an investment banker for 20 years before being recruited to Ridgeway Partners, a global executive search firm, eight years ago. Why the change? In investment banking he saw that the two critical drivers of a company’s success are capital and people. Preusse always enjoyed most the personal and social dynamics of what made a transaction work. Now, as a partner at Ridgeway, Preusse is a matchmaker of strategic talent: he works with his corporate clients as they build their senior management teams to position themselves for success. He and the team at Ridgeway are among the best in their business—their successful placement rate of 98 percent is peerless in their industry. “What really differentiates us is our ability as an international boutique to be incredibly focused on our clients,” he says. “The partners do the work. When you hire a Ridgeway partner, you get the partner.”

Tuck prepared Preusse well for both phases of his career. One thing he learned in the Tuck core was discipline. For example, before Tuck, he had never heard of a decision tree. Now he uses that framework every day to parse complex decisions into their component parts, and to understand and value the possible outcomes. “In my industry, I can lay out what might happen in a situation for CEOs and very senior people,” he says. “They have a lot going on. You can break it down and keep it simple. You learn a lot of that here.”

Tuck also gave Preusse confidence. At Columbia, he recalled he was surrounded by incredibly smart people. Tuck took it up a notch. “At Tuck, I found the student body that much more curious and intelligent,” he says. “Just being around that community of people for two years gives you a great deal of confidence when you come out. You are very comfortable interacting with the senior most people within organizations.”

Preusse has been out of business school long enough that the lessons from his MBA experience have seeped deeply into his mental map. He does not think about them every day, but he knows they are there. “You learn a lot at Tuck and you can always leverage it, but you don’t always realize you’re leveraging it,” he explains. “You’re just doing it.
