We are committed to redefining our clients’ experience of working with retained executive search firms.

Headquartered in the Washington metro area, Lochlin Partners is a world-class retained executive search firm that helps leading organizations find the best C-Level and other senior level talent.

Our clients receive the experience, resources and results of large, global search firms in a setting that allows ongoing and intimate involvement to drive every stage of the search process. Our model was designed to deliver quality results by a process that is more detailed, collaborative, transparent and timely than the large firm model allows. We do this because we understand that each executive level position is unique and that a personal, custom approach is the most effective means of finding the best placement for our clients’ needs.


How is Lochlin Partners Redefining Retained Executive Search?

  • We put clients before revenue. So we can emphasize relationships, not transactions.
  • We don’t believe in layers. Our Managing Partners are the faces of and brains behind every search.
  • We carefully manage the number of active searches that each Managing Partner handles to ensure every client gets the proper “mind share.”
  • We won’t keep you in the dark. We have a rigorous process and provide constant updates during the search.
  • We stay in touch. Even when we don’t need something from you.
  • We provide relevant insights. Because if we help you do your job better, we’ll all benefit in the long run.
  • We never let up until the search is done. Our commitment and energy remains high throughout the process.
  • We always check in down the road. We want to find out how things go because that helps us get better.
  • We invest in tools and technology. This helps us deliver faster and better results and a better overall client experience.
