About

Gilman Partners is a retained executive search and leadership development firm focused on the top-third of organizations specializing in family owned and privately held companies. That specialty, and the fact that we successfully place more than 100 leaders across the nation each year, means we deeply understand the nuances of attracting, assessing and recruiting executives and other high-caliber professionals. We work with privately held companies, family-owned businesses, and nonprofit organizations to place leaders in key roles.

Organizations across the U.S. trust us to help them find, recruit, and develop top talent that enables them to be more competitive in their marketplace. With more than 45 years of experience, we offer clients the agility and responsiveness of a local recruiting firm with the sophistication and capabilities of a national one — and it shows, with more than half of our searches including a national reach.

In the past three years, two-thirds of our searches have come from repeat clients. We value our long-term relationships with many organizations and have enjoyed several new business partnerships in the past few years. We consistently hear feedback from our clients that they hire us because of our integrity, responsiveness, and expertise in multiple areas — all of which lead to proven results for their organizations.
